[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you invite someone to stay at your house for a few days as a houseguest, and you are not Jewish, but you know that your guest keeps kosher...is there anything you can do to make your kitchen temporarily more convenient for them?  I don't have two fridges, but I do have a dorm fridge (so maybe I could try to separate things in that manner for a few days?)...I definitely only have one cooktop, so not sure what the options are there.  Or is it weird/unnecessary to even try?  [/quote]

1. It depends exactly what they mean by kosher.  Even among the orthodox there are varying approaches to leniences (some Orthodox will eat a cold vegetable salad off non kosher dishes, for example, some won't, and among the non-O who observe the kashrut the details vary very widely) 
2. There are a zillion temporary fixes to make eating in a nonkosher kitchen possible. Cold foods.  Lining an oven in tin foil (or roasting a kosher chicken wrapped in tin foil)  Kashering a microwave, which is not that hard to do.  
3. I would say its not necessary to try.   I dont think many would expect that of a non-Jew, and if they are staying with a non-Jew, they are A relatively moderate B expecting that they will not be completely accommodated. But it is also not weird. I think the fact that you want to try would be appreciated. [/quote]
