31“You shall take the ram of ordination and aboil its flesh in a holy place. 32And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bbread that is in the basket in the entrance of the tent of meeting.Leviticus 6:28
28And cthe earthenware vessel in which it is boiled dshall be broken. But if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, that shall be scoured and rinsed in water.Leviticus 7:15
15And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings efor thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning.Deuteronomy 12:6-7
6and there you shall bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, fyour tithes and the contribution that you present, your vow offerings, your freewill offerings, and the gfirstborn of your herd and of your flock. 7And hthere you shall eat before the Lord your God, and iyou shall rejoice, you and your households, in all that you undertake, in which the Lord your God has blessed you.1 Samuel 2:13-17
13The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come, while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand, 14and he would thrust it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or pot. All that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is what they did at Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. 15Moreover, jbefore the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give meat for the priest to roast, for he will not accept boiled meat from you but only raw.” 16And if the man said to him, “Let them burn the fat first, and then take as much as you wish,” he would say, “No, you must give it now, and if not, I will take it by force.” 17Thus the sin of the young men was very great kin the sight of the Lord, lfor the men treated the offering of the Lord with contempt.Ezekiel 46:20-24
20And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests mshall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where nthey shall bake the grain offering, in order not to bring them out into the outer court and so otransmit holiness to the people.”21Then he brought me out to the outer court and led me around to the four corners of the court. And behold, in each corner of the court there was another court— 22in the four corners of the court were small ▼

courts, forty cubits ▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters
long and thirty broad; the four were of the same size. 23On the inside, around each of the four courts was a row of masonry, with hearths made at the bottom of the rows all around. 24Then he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who rminister at the temple sshall boil the sacrifices of the people.”
