דְּאַגַּב חוּרְפֵּיהּ בָּלַע, אֲבָל קִישּׁוּת – גָּרֵיר לְבֵי פְסָקֵיהּ וְאָכֵיל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**as due to its sharpness it absorbs** the fat on the knife. **But** if one cut **a cucumber** with the same knife, it does not absorb the fat to the same extent. One may therefore simply **scrape the place of the cut** to remove any fat residue, **and** then one may **eat** the cucumber with *kutaḥ*.

[Chullin 112a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/112a:2)

קִילְחֵי דְּלִיפְתָּא – שְׁרֵי, דְּסִילְקָא – אֲסִירי, וְאִי פְּתַךְ בְּהוּ דְּלִיפְתָּא – שַׁפִּיר דָּמֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Likewise, **turnip stalks** cut with such a knife are **permitted** for consumption with *kutaḥ*. But **chard** cut with such a knife is **prohibited** for consumption with *kutaḥ*, as it absorbs flavor from the knife. **And if one alternated between** cutting chard **and turnip** stalks it is **permitted,** as the turnip stalks nullify the taste of the meat in the knife.

בְּעָא מִינֵּיהּ רַב דִּימִי מֵרַב נַחְמָן: מַהוּ לְאַנּוֹחֵי כַּדָּא דְמִלְחָא גַּבֵּי כַּדָּא דְכַמְכָּא? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אָסוּר. דְּחַלָּא מַאי? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: שְׁרֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **Rav Dimi inquired of Rav Naḥman: What is** the *halakha* with regard **to placing a jug of salt,** used to salt meat, **alongside a jug of *kamka*,** i.e., *kutaḥ*, a milk dish? Need one be concerned lest some of the *kutaḥ* fall on the salt without his knowledge and ultimately contaminate his meat? Rav Naḥman **said to him: It is prohibited** to place the two jugs next to each other. Rav Dimi further inquired: **What** is the *halakha* with regard to a similar case involving a jug **of vinegar** used to season meat? Need one be concerned lest the *kutaḥ* fall into the vinegar? Rav Naḥman **said to him: It is permitted** to place these two jugs next to each other.

וּמַאי שְׁנָא לְכִי תֵּיכוּל עֲלַהּ כּוֹרָא דְמִלְחָא? מַאי טַעְמָא? הַאי – אִיתֵיהּ (איסורא) [לְאִיסּוּרָא] בְּעֵינֵיהּ, וְהַאי – לֵיתֵיהּ (איסורא) [לְאִיסּוּרָא] בְּעֵינֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rav Dimi asked: **And what is different** about the vinegar? Rav Naḥman responded: **When you** have thought **about it** long enough to **eat a *kor* of salt,** you will know the reason. The Gemara clarifies: **What is the reason** then? In **this** case of the salt, **the prohibited** substance **is substantive,** as the traces of *kutaḥ* are discernible and not nullified by the salt. **But** in **that** case of the vinegar, **the prohibited** substance **is not substantive,** since the *kutaḥ* melts away in the vinegar and will no longer impart flavor.

הָהוּא בַּר גּוֹזָלָא דִּנְפַל לְכַדָּא דְּכַמְכָּא, שַׁרְיֵיהּ רַב חִינָּנָא בְּרֵיהּ דְּרָבָא מִפַּשְׁרוּנְיָא. אָמַר רָבָא: מַאן חַכִּים לְמִישְׁרֵי כִּי הַאי גַוְונָא, אִי לָאו רַב חִינָּנָא בְּרֵיהּ דְּרָבָא מִפַּשְׁרוּנְיָא? קָסָבַר: כִּי אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל ״מָלִיחַ הֲרֵי הוּא כְּרוֹתֵחַ״, הָנֵי מִילֵּי הֵיכָא דְּאֵינוֹ נֶאֱכָל מֵחֲמַת מִלְחוֹ, אֲבָל הַאי כּוּתָּחָא הֲרֵי נֶאֱכָל מֵחֲמַת מִלְחוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates: There was **a certain young bird that fell into a jug of *kamka*,** i.e., *kutaḥ*. **Rav Ḥinnana, son of Rava of** the city of **Pashronya, permitted** the bird. **Rava said** about this: **Who is wise** enough **to** discern reasons to **permit** the food in difficult **cases like this, if not Rav Ḥinnana, son of Rava of Pashronya? He maintains** that **when Shmuel said** that **a salted** food imparts flavor **like a boiling** food, **that statement** applies only to a food so salty **that it is not eaten due to its salt, but this *kutaḥ*** can still be **eaten due to,** i.e., despite, **its salt.** Therefore, it is as if both foods are cold and unsalted, and they do not impart flavor to one another, provided one rinses the area of contact.

וְהָנֵי מִילֵּי חַי, אֲבָל צָלִי – בָּעֵי קְלִיפָה, וְאִי אִית בֵּיהּ פִּילֵי – כּוּלֵּיהּ אָסוּר, וְאִי מְתַבַּל בְּתַבְלִין – כּוּלֵּיהּ אָסוּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara adds: **And this statement** applies only if the bird is **raw, but** if it is **roasted, it requires peeling** to remove the outer layer, since roasting softens the meat and causes it to absorb more flavor. **And if it has cracks [*pilei*], it is entirely forbidden,** because the milk is absorbed into the cracks. **And if it has been flavored with spices it is** likewise **entirely forbidden,** because the spices soften the meat and render it absorbent.

[Chullin 112a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/112a:7)

אָמַר רַב נַחְמָן, אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: כִּכָּר שֶׁחָתַךְ עָלֶיהָ בָּשָׂר – אָסוּר לְאׇכְלָהּ, וְהָנֵי מִילֵּי דְּאַסְמֵיק, וְהָנֵי מִילֵּי דְּאַבְרְיֵהּ, וְהָנֵי מִילֵּי דְּאַסְמְכֵיהּ, אֲבָל קְלִישְׁתָּא – לֵית לַן בַּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Naḥman said** that **Shmuel says: It is prohibited to eat a loaf** of bread **upon which one cut** unsalted roasted **meat,** since the blood expelled from the roasted meat is absorbed in the loaf. The Gemara adds: **And this statement** applies only **if** the meat **is ruddy** from the blood it contains. **And** furthermore, **this statement** applies only **if** so much blood was absorbed in the loaf that **it passed through** from one side of the loaf to the other and was visible from both sides. **And** furthermore, **this statement** applies only **if** the liquid emitted by the roasted meat **is viscous. But** if it is **runny, we have no** problem **with it,** i.e., the loaf is permitted.

שְׁמוּאֵל שָׁדֵי לֵיהּ לְכַלְבֵּיהּ, רַב הוּנָא יָהֵיב לֵיהּ לְשַׁמָּעֵיהּ. מָה נַפְשָׁךְ? אִי שְׁרֵי – לְכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא שְׁרֵי, אִי אֲסִיר – לְכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא אֲסִיר! שָׁאנֵי רַב הוּנָא דַּאֲנִינָא דַּעְתֵּיהּ. רָבָא אָכֵיל לֵיהּ, וְקָרֵי לֵיהּ ״חֲמַר בָּשָׂר״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates: **Shmuel would throw to his dog** such a loaf of bread that he held was prohibited. **Rav Huna** would not eat the loaf himself but **would** rather **give it to his attendant.** The Gemara objects: **Whichever way you** look at it, Rav Huna’s behavior is problematic: **If** the loaf **is permitted, it is permitted for everyone,** including Rav Huna himself. And **if it is prohibited, then it is prohibited for everyone,** and he should not give it to his attendant. The Gemara explains: In fact, the loaf is permitted for consumption, and **Rav Huna is different, as he is of delicate constitution** and did not want to eat the loaf himself. The Gemara further relates: **Rava would eat** a loaf of this type, **and he would call** the red liquid **meat wine.**

[Chullin 112a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/112a:9)

אָמַר רַב נַחְמָן, אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: אֵין מַנִּיחִין כְּלִי תַּחַת בָּשָׂר עַד שֶׁיִּכְלֶה כׇּל מַרְאֵה אַדְמוּמִית שֶׁבּוֹ. מְנָא יָדְעִינַן? מָר זוּטְרָא מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרַב פָּפָּא אָמַר: מִשֶּׁתַּעֲלֶה תִּימְרָתוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Naḥman says** that **Shmuel says: One may not place a vessel under** roasting **meat** to catch the drippings of fat **until all the ruddiness of** the meat’s **appearance has dissipated.** Beforehand, though, one must be concerned that blood will fall with the drippings into the vessel, rendering the mixture and the vessel prohibited. The Gemara asks: **How do we know** when all the meat’s redness has disappeared? **Mar Zutra said in the name of Rav Pappa: As soon as its smoke rises,** one can be sure that all the blood has been expelled from the meat.

מַתְקֵיף לַהּ רַב אָשֵׁי: וְדִלְמָא תַּתָּאָה מְטָא, עִילָּאָה לָא מְטָא? אֶלָּא אָמַר רַב אָשֵׁי: לֵית לֵיהּ תַּקַּנְתָּא, אֶלָּא מִשְׁדֵּא בֵּיהּ תַּרְתֵּי גַּלְלֵי מִלְחָא,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ashi objects to this: But perhaps the underside** of the meat, which is closest to the coals, has been fully **roasted,** but its **upper** part is still **not roasted** and still expels blood at this stage. **Rather, Rav Ashi said:** One who wishes to collect the drippings **has no remedy except** to **place two lumps of salt in it,** i.e., one in the receptacle under the meat and one on top, in the meat itself.
