Kitchen Kashrut: Guidelines for Using Separate Meat and Dairy Ovens
Question
Hi,I have two ovens, one on top of the other — one for meat and one for dairy. When I turn on one of them, the other one also gets hot. Is that a problem?Also, another question: I was frying schnitzels and the oil splattered onto the handle of the dairy oven. I wiped it off, of course — is that an issue?Thank you very much!
Answer
Shalom,
There’s no issue with the second oven heating up, as long as there are no liquids between the walls of the ovens.
As for the splatter on the handle; it does not make the oven non-kosher.
