koshering

Making food permissible

Koshering is the process of making food kosher according to Jewish dietary law.

For meat, this typically involves salting and soaking to draw out blood, which is prohibited for consumption.

The term extends to preparing kitchens or utensils for kosher use, often by thorough cleaning or heating: We spent the morning koshering the pots for Passover.
