Question:
I wanted to ask whether there is any way to use my hotplate that I use the whole year on Pesach. Of course I’ll clean it well and cover it with thick foil.
Answer:
Kashering the electrical hotplate for Pesach is as follows:
Clean it very well (grease remover etc.), turn on for 1 hour, then pour on it boiling water. Lastly cover it with 2 layers of thick aluminum foil (50 micron).
i was told that would be a fire hazard
if it can not be kasherd safely it should not be used on Pesach
I have been told by experts that putting foil on the platta makes it reach dangerously high temperatures which are unsafe for the platta. Kindly comment.
I never heard of such a thing ands it is quite common to do.
