Question:
Hi,
- I recently moved into new apartment, previous tenants were not kosher. Do I have to Kosher the oven I don’t have self cleaning mode so how would I do it Temp/Time?
- Also I cooked food in there, forgetting to kosher oven if I have to at all, is that Food considered not kosher anymore?
Answer:
- In order to kasher the oven, it should be cleaned out of any gook and grease, then it should be set to the highest temperature for 20- 30 min., so that any absorbed taste gets burnt out, and then it can be used.
- In retrospect, the food is still kosher to use, but you are not allowed to use the oven until it is kashered first.
You should have much success in your new apartment
