I was in Shop Rite and I saw plastic containers for sale. The package had an OU on it. However, it did not say OU-P. Do you think these containers are safe to use on Pesach?
Is this a joke or serious? I’m having trouble figuring it out. I assume it’s a joke, but with today’s chumros it just might be serious.
when they started marketing plasticware and paperware as kosher l’pesach I think I despaired a little. plastic is plastic – you’re not going to eat it and unless the guy in the factory was eating a sandwich as he packed the containers for shipping, they have never seen a crumb in their life. it’s time to wake up!
Did you hear the Damoshe family uses plastic containers for pesach? they are off my shidduch list now. (thread hijack alert)
notasheep- they sometimes coat the plastics with oils and such. if you rinse it out soap and water before using it shouldn’t be a problem, but the kashrus issue isn’t that the workers will eat over the machines.
I was being facetious. I am well aware of the reason behind it and I think it is a step too far. Especially since oil is not chametz.
plastic tablecloths often contain starches that are genuine chametz. Perhaps the same is true for other plastics.
contain or are coated with? cause the prohibition on chametz is roeh l’achilas kelev. if the starch is part of the tablecloth itself then it really isn’t a problem – no dog would eat plastic.
coated with, to keep it from sticking to itself. The kosher l’pesach tablecloths are much harder to open without tearing it.
my family always by the stiff PVC tablecloths brand new for pesach and then keep them till the next pesach. As far as I know, the PVC ones aren’t coated cause they are not disposable
