Essential guidance for navigating everyday Jewish practices with clarity and authenticity
When dipping food in solidified milk products such as cheese or yogurt, must one wash their hands as required for food dipped in liquid?
A solidified liquid is considered a food item in this context, therefore one who dips food in cheese does not need to wash their hands [158, Mishna Berura].
If someone fries food in butter and holds it with their hands, must they wash their hands as required for food dipped in liquid?
One who fries food such as malawach in a pan with butter and eats the malawach with their hands is required to wash their hands according to the rule of food dipped in liquid [158, Mishna Berura].
