kashering
Making food kosher
Kashering is the process of making something kosher according to Jewish dietary law.
Kitchen utensils, cookware, and appliances that have absorbed non-kosher food can be kashered through specific methods—typically purging with boiling water or heating with fire, depending on how the item was used.
We spent the afternoon kashering the pots before Passover.
