All meat has at least some blood in it, no matter the form of kashering , salting or cooking. How much is too much? Why don't the red/pink blood-containing "juices" make meat eating forbidden?

  • neither the redness nor the liquid leftover in the meat is blood but there is a specific protein in the meat which makes the meat red. the liquid is water. – Dude May 02 '16 at 04:30

  • See Yalkut Yosef Melicha(Siman 69) who discusses as to whether that which you wrote that salt never extracts all the blood is true. – MosheRabbi May 02 '16 at 05:54
  • @MosheRabbi I think that I saw recently on the OU (or maybe it was CRC) a page that discusses how to properly make liver kosher. I think it stated that you need 2 requirements - 1 that the blood must be completely drained out, so no pink arteas are allowed in the liver at all and 2 - even after all that, the liver must still be salted. My understanding from this is that the salt is important no matter what because the roasting never extracts all the blood either. – DanF May 02 '16 at 14:24

What you call blood is not what the Torah calls blood

It has nothing to do with the amount

only blood that is separated from the meat, or gathered together or moved (started to get out and stopped) is called blood (and biblically only if it was not salted

A raw piece of meat is kosher if you wash the surface

Yd 67

PRI megodim intro to laws of salting

The juices after the salting are called wine of the meat and not blood

    How do you know blood that hasn't separated isn't called blood? Perhaps it's permitted blood? – Double AA May 02 '16 at 16:24
  • @DoubleAA It is a guess, since if the Torah says do not eat blood, and this is edible so it must not be legally "blood" that the Torah forbade – hazoriz May 02 '16 at 16:26
