Kosher, Kashrus and Hechsherim Master thread

[madhocker]

First you’d need to get to the bottom of it.

See the Pri migadim that the Taz is very shver, as pashtus you don’t need ס״ס there at all. The חידושי הרי״ם is מתמה on the Taz similar to ברכ״י.

Fwiu  בית שלמה suggests the Taz is only saying it when it’s anyways mutar מעיקר הדין, כקושית הפרי מגדים.

Main point I’m making is the heter is very questionable. Not saying it’s pashut its assur.

But you agree that the אחרונים you mentioned learn the Ta"z is being מיקל (besides for the בית שלמה). And a questionable היתר in a דין דרבנן  is precisely where we say ספק דרבנן לקולא.
I'm not saying that the פסק is to be meikil, I was just pointing out that what you said for a דבר פשוט that אין עושין ספ"ס בידים אפילו באין כונתו לבטל is far from פשוט. 
עד כאן

They ask on the Taz from a mefurash Rashba paskened in Shu”a. You need to answer the problem before being somech on it.

I was just pointing out that what you said for a דבר פשוט that אין עושין ספ"ס בידים אפילו באין כונתו לבטל is far from פשוט.

Except that I never said for a davar pashut such a thing.

The research you're referring to was specifically about high powered blenders like a Vitamix?

I believe so but don't know for certain.
I don't think the only factor is  the power of the blender, rather if every surface of the berry comes in contact with the blade. CMIIW

[Chaim723]

rather if every surface of the berry comes in contact with the blade. CMIIW

Just to put things into context, the blades on a Vitamix spin more than 500 times per second...

Sorry to interrupt the discussion.
Does anyone know why weiman granite cleaner no longer has an ou? (The green bottle). Was it ever necessary?

[madhocker]

Good thing no one said it is.
Nonetheless it is the pashtus.

Except that I never said for a davar pashut such a thing.

You need to explain yourself. Did you say it was פשוט or not?

[imayid2]

You need to explain yourself. Is it פשוט or not?

No

But the simple understanding would lead to such a conclusion

The פרי מגדים does not pose this question whatsoever from the שלחן ערוך, and clearly learns the Ta"z is being meikil.
The ברכי יוסף also does not ask a קשיא. He just pointed out that the Ta"z is not like the שלחן ערוך. He doesn't ask anything, because the Ta"z many times agues on the שלחן ערוך.
The חידושי הרי"ם does ask it, and TBH I am not sure what the קשיא is.

He doesn’t address this specific point so we don’t really know his take on it.

He argues on Rashbas without telling us?
No, he doesn’t generally do that. Highly unlikely, and even if the ברכ״י understood that way, it’s extremely unlikely for someone to Moreh to be meikal because of that.

So the אחרונים learned the Ta"z not like you, and you say their position is extremely unlikely?

לסיכום הענין, I don't have a problem using the אחרונים understanding of the Ta"z as a tzad in a safek derabanan. If you disagree and hold there is no מקום to use the Ta"z, I respect your opinion as well. You seem to be an erudite ת"ח 

[imayid2]

So the אחרונים don't see it like you, and you say their position is highly unlikely?

You say this as a plural, yet that word would be more appropriate to use for all of the achronim who are disagreeing with the Taz. (Including the חכמת אדם)

We don’t need to use the Taz, there are other achronim that are explicitly meikal.
See שו״ת משאת משה סימן towards the beginning, (gimmel or daled, somewhere there. About grape leaves).
So it is definitely a valid tzad lhalacha. I was just pointing out that the original swinging at someone for being machmir on this (who I don’t even know said lhalacha to be machmir), is kind of out of place.

I respect your opinion as well. You seem to be an erudite ת"ח 

Thank you, וכן למר.

See my edit in bold. I was refering to the way they learned the Ta"z, not their own opinion.

Thank you, וכן למר.

Is the whip cream at any Starbucks location Kosher?

Ok. Thanks. So have to ask if Parve...

Unless they have a vegan version, it's highly unlikely to be parve.

[HudZ]

Ok. Ty.
All are Kosher though? (Even if OU-D). Do all franchises have to use the same one?
