One dishwasher is good enough for both milk and meat dishes!
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2020
This is a great book, and I would have to say that the best part is probably pages 168- 170.
Therein is contained the halachot pertaining to Sephardim.
I happen to be an Orthodox convert, and I am always looking for the least restrictive option as far as kashrut practice.
(There's not really any sense in binding your feet unnecessarily if you cannot rely on others to uphold the law consistently. The question is.... What is the absolute minimum necessary?)
What is the magic quote from this book?
"One who wants to wash both meat and dairy dishes together in a dishwasher has a halachic opinion to rely on, provided the dishwasher works in the following manner: after the dishes are loaded into the dishwasher and the door is closed, boiling water mixed with dishwashing detergent runs over all of the dishes. Afterwards, clean boiling water runs over the dishes. (According to more stringent opinions, one should use the dishwasher first for one type of food and then for the other type, after waiting 24 hours in between.) All of these halalchot to apply only when there are no discernible pieces of meat visible to the eye on the meat utensils. (Issue v'heter, p.152).
