Major kosher certification agencies (OU, OK, Star-K, Kof-K) do not universally mandate specific equipment like dual sinks, separate refrigeration, or designated prep areas. Instead, they emphasize separation of meat and dairy, with flexibility based on the kitchen’s design and rabbinical supervision. OK Kosher recommends separate sinks and prep areas but allows single-sink use with precautions [1]. Star-K provides general pre-purchase advice without explicit mandates in available sources [2]. Requirements are determined case-by-case by the certifying rabbi.
