10) MIXING MEAT AND MILK TOGETHER WHILE COLD

If one mixes BASAR BEHEIMA (meat from a domesticated animal) together with milk, in a manner that is only Rabbinically prohibited, i.e.;

          1) they are mixed together cold, or

          2) they are pickled[1] together,

then (while one cannot eat the entity, Miderabanan), one may derive benefit from it.

Thus, for example, it would be permitted to sell pickled meat and milk to a non-Jew who is not bound by the laws of kashrut.

[1] ‘KAVUSH KEMEBUSHAL DAMI’ (‘Pickling is like cooking’). Pickling two entities in a salty brine for more than 24 hours is generally considered almost like cooking. This is because the process causes the two entities to thoroughly absorb into each other. However meat and milk pickling together is not considered absolute cooking in terms of effecting a Torah prohibition of Basar beChalav.
