Kashrus alert: Livers in plastic bags in ducks, turkey, chicken

Kashrus alert: Livers in plastic bags in ducks, turkey, chicken become "kovush" and you can't even broil them-you must dispose of them.

The livers are not yet broiled (kashered), hence kovush makes them "ossur".

When you buy chicken livers in a plastic tub in the supermarket or loose at a take out store, were they already kovush before that?

Kovush in what? The liquid? There is none!

There is alway liquid in the plastic bags of liver, that's kovush in my book.

There is no inyan of kovush by liver because it must be broiled. This דין is by any meat that was soaking for over 24 hours. Does it become treif ?.... No ! You just can't kasher it thru mileicha.

It's NOT true that there is no inyan of kovush where broiling is required.

But I'm thinking that Alle must be freezing the birds in short order to get around this problem. Come on Yudel, you really think the Nirbater is this big of a slouch?

Then all meat and chicken is kovush! Kovush is soaking in liquids - not tzir!

The chicken and meat are already kosher. If the meat and chicken are soaking in liquid for more than 24 hrs., then mileicha doesn't help; only broiling.

are there any holes in the bags?
