How To Choose A Kosher MRE

By Marci Glover


In the modern world people do not always have time to cook. You may want something to eat in your lunch break or feel too tired when you get home to make something from scratch. However if you are someone who is strict about keeping kosher then this is not always straightforward. Fortunately there are kosher MRE available so you can have both convenience and peace of mind.

The term MRE stands for Meal Ready to Eat. The idea is that you can take something and put it in the oven or microwave. The speed with which you can get it cooked is often one of the biggest reasons that people purchase them. You do not have to worry about putting ingredients together.

Part of the problem for Jewish who want to purchase ready meals is that it is not always easy to know if food is kosher. The fact is that the term does not just refer to the type of food Jewish people are not allowed to eat such as shellfish. It also refers to the way in which the food is prepared.

There is also the issue of how food is prepared. Strict kosher means that dairy food should not be prepared at the same time as meat. Jewish kitchens will often have separate cutlery and crockery in order to do this. A professional kitchen or factory should also recognise this.

Traditionally a rabbi would be responsible for inspecting a restaurant, butcher and so forth to make sure that the rules for preparing and serving food had been properly adhered to. In modern times this is still true although there may be some official bodies that also do inspections on a larger scale when looking at food produced in factories.

Traditionally it was the job of a rabbi to inspect where food was being prepared. They would check to ensure that a butcher slaughtered the animals in the right way. They would also check that meat would be cooked in a safe way. For example when cooking beef they would be prepared in salt and blood would be drained from the animal.

There is also the issue of how they are cooked. Some items will require cooking in an oven while others can be cooked in a microwave. Make sure you check the instructions as some may require you to remove packaging at specific times or stir the contents in order to ensure consistent heating. This may sound obvious but it needs to be done in order to be certain that what you have cooked is safe to eat and to get the best possible flavour from it.

You can order ready to eat meals from a number of different sources. A quick check online should help you find companies that can produce a number of different ready to eat dishes you can either purchase in store or purchase directly from companies through their website. It is also worth checking customer reviews and feedback to see what ones provide the best taste and value for money so that you can choose the best kosher food to suit your tastes.
