Question

Hello, Is it permissible for me to cook rice in a dairy pot initially, when I plan to eat the rice alongside meat but not directly with the meat? To what extent is nat bar nat prohibited initially? I would appreciate a clear source. Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello

I did not quite understand the situation you are asking about, 'alongside meat, but not with the meat'.

There are two possibilities: either eating separately or eating together.

If eating separately, there is no problem. Even if eating them immediately one after the other without a break.

If eating together, there are several details.

If the dairy utensil was used within the day for cooking milk, it is not permissible to cook rice in it to eat with meat.

If the dairy pot was not used within the day, according to the Sephardic custom, it is permissible to cook in it to eat with meat. According to the Ashkenazi custom, it is not permissible to cook in it to eat with meat.

If there is no other pot to cook in, it is permissible even according to the Ashkenazi custom to cook in it to eat with meat.
