5. Disposables

Disposable dishes: they make kosher easierDon't have a kosher kitchen by Orthodox standards? Much of that can be overcome by using disposable dishes and utensils. One way to be hospitable to people who keep strict kosher standards is to have plenty of disposables on hand. Most people do not feel a need to do anything to make disposable dishes and utensils kosher. This does not negate the need to communicate with your guests, however. Some disposable dinnerware products actually have kosher certification, although not everyone deems that necessary. While you're at it, it may also be helpful to have heavy duty aluminum foil available for instant kosher surfaces.
