8) DISCRETION REQUIRED WHEN COOKING CHICKEN AND MILK

REMEMBER:                                                                                                                         Mideoraita (under Torah law), it is only prohibited to cook BEHEIMA TEHORA (meat from a kosher species of domesticated animal), with milk, also from a BEHEIMA TEHORAH.                                 

Mideoraita, it is permitted to cook CHAYA TEHORA (meat from a kosher species of wild animal), as well as OFF TAHOR (flesh from a kosher species of fowl), with milk from a BEHEIMA TEHORA (kosher domesticated animal).

Miderabanan (under Rabbinical law), it is prohibited to eat CHAYA TEHORA (meat from a kosher species of wild animal) as well as OFF TAHOR (flesh from a kosher species of fowl), with milk from a BEHEIMA TEHORA, although it is permitted to cook them together, and to derive benefit from them.

As mentioned above, under Rabbinical law, we may cook CHAYA (wild animals) and OFF (fowl) with milk, provided we do not eat it. However, in a situation of MARIT AYIN (where someone watching may erroneously think that if it’s permitted to cook chicken and milk together, then it must also be permitted to eat it) – we would only be permitted to continue cooking if both of the following conditions are met;

11)      It is absolutely clear that we are cooking CHICKEN and not Meat. (E.g. The chicken skin should be   displayed visibly).

22)      It is absolutely clear that we are ONLY cooking the chicken and milk together (perhaps for a non-       Jew), but we are NOT planning on eating the entity.
