04-23-2014 STAR-K's Shmatte Bedika demo with Rabbi Sholom Tendler

I would like to demonstrate the proper way to do a throw-up cloth check method more properly known as schmancy bedico line is necessary are a light box and a 60 micron piece of mesh which is why it's called the schemata bedico and the basin of water take the basin of water add some dishwashing liquid to the water now use soap for a dishwasher which does not cause any bubbles the water should be slippery take the produce agitate it in the water for approximately 10 seconds shake off the produce and technically speaking you can check the water over a light box in the basin like this however the schmatta method is actually more effective and much easier it's helpful to have two strangers to sandwich the throw off in between take the water pour it through the schemata then you take the schemata and put it on the light box and then you check this mantle over the light box
