The Kornitzer Edition: Vocalized Hebrew, Interlinear Translation, Comparative Halachah, Summary of Every Siman
The Aruch HaShulchan on the foods of non-Jews and the kashering of vessels - the full Hebrew text with a line-by-line English translation.
Rabbi Yechiel Michel HaLevi Epstein (1829-1908), Av Beis Din of Novardok, wrote a code that reasons in the open, tracing each halachah from the Gemara through the Rishonim and the Shulchan Aruch to the practice of his own day. This concluding volume covers the simanim a kashrus question reaches for first.
Volume 3 covers Simanim 111-122: two pots and two pieces, one permitted and one forbidden; pas akum - the bread of non-Jews; bishul akum - foods cooked by a non-Jew; beer, oil and honey of non-Jews; cholov akum, cheese and butter; things forbidden on account of danger (sakanah); the prohibition on trading in foods forbidden by Torah law; sealing foodstuffs sent by way of a non-Jew; ne'emanus - one suspected of a prohibition has no credibility concerning it; tevilas kelim, the immersion of vessels acquired from non-Jews; the order of kashering vessels used for non-kosher food; and nosein ta'am lifgam in vessels not used within twenty-four hours.
