ORIGINAL: brothertodd
not a sin, but if you pot beef or lamb on it it is considered unclean cause of the cheese. Kosher dietary restrictions dont alow the mixing of dairy with beef and lamb. havent found a reasonable reason for that.
Ex 23:19
Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
Ex 34:26
Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
Dt 14:21
Do not eat anything you find already dead. You may give it to an alien living in any of your towns, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. But you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
It seems that cooking a kid in its mother's milk was common in Canaanite cuisine, and God ordered Israel not to follow that custom. I don't know if it was merely a separation issue, or if there were other reasons. Rabbinical Judaism at some point took an injunction against a certain dish and turned it into a principle, applying it to all other meats as well. The modern injuction against eating meat and dairy products at the same meal comes from the theoretical possibility that the mother of the beef provided the butter.
