Reply To: Letting people bring food into your home

Apushatayid, what I mean is that for instance I wash my lettuce and make salads using all parve equipment and serving pieces. My neighbor I would think prepares everything on meat equipment. I once gave her our parve bowl to prepare salad in and she happened to put microwaved greenbeans in the salad. I asked her what status her microwave is and she answered “milk, I mean parve”. She keeps kosher( I have been in the fridge and in the pantry getting stuff to help her serve for the meal),and if she wants to prepare/serve things a certain way at her home…fine with me, and I will eat it. But I dont really want to let the stuff on my plates and stuff If I dont really know how she cooked it and mess up my parve stuff.

She also once showed me an old wooden bowl that she said belonged to her grandmother that did not keep kosher and then she once served salad in that. I guess maybe I should trust her kashrut either, but it is these rare cases and I dont want to insult her(and she will get insulted and already questions if I question her Kashrut).
