The Torah states three times "לֹא-תְבַשֵּׁל גְּדִי בַּחֲלֵב אִמּוֹ-You shall not cook a kid (baby goat) in its mother's milk" (Exod. 23:19; 34:26; Deut. 14:21). Our Sages learn that the repitition teachs us the prohibitions of cooking, eating, and have any type of (monetary included) benefit <ref> | The Torah states three times "לֹא-תְבַשֵּׁל גְּדִי בַּחֲלֵב אִמּוֹ-You shall not cook a kid (baby goat) in its mother's milk" (Exod. 23:19; 34:26; Deut. 14:21).

The above concept is referred to in the Talmudic phrase: "''Derekh Bishul Asera Torah''-The Torah only forbade [milk and meat in] a cooking manner". Included in the law of "''derekh bishul''" is the qualificaion that only cooking with fire (similar to the prohibtion of cooking on Shabbat) is considered "cooking" from the Torah's point of view. <ref> </ref> | |||
Please take note that we are only speaking in terms of the Torah prohibition here, the Sages also forbade eating milk and meat together even if they were not cooked together <ref> S"A, ibid </ref>; or, "cooking" milk with meat without using fire (e.g. roasting) | |||
