Question
Challah that has been separated: must it be burned until it becomes ash, or is it sufficient that it is no longer fit for consumption?
Answer
Shalom Rav
The term 'burning' means until it becomes ash.
However, it is often difficult to burn it to such an extent. Do what is possible.

As in the language of the Gemara in Pesachim 27, Temurah 34.
