A toaster that has been through Passover and has leaven stuck to it

asked 6 years ago

To our dear Rabbi Michael, peace be upon you,
I have a toaster that I accidentally didn’t sell to a non-Jew on Passover, and it has had leaven stuck to it all year long, because I always clean it with a rag when I take out the toast. Can I use it? Shouldn’t there be a slight residue of leaven stuck to it?
Thank you very much for all the answers!

If you clean it so that there is no chametz left in the eye, it is permissible. See for example here: http://din.org.il/2019/04/28/%D7%AA%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%A8-%D7%9E%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9B%D7%9C%D7%9A-%D7%91%D7%97%D7%9E%D7%A5-%D7%A9%D7%9C%D7%90-%D7%A0%D7%9E%D7%9B%D7%A8-%D7%9C%D7%92%D7%95%D7%99/

Even if there is chametz in the eye, it was probably canceled before Passover. Does the decree also apply to canceled chametz?

מיכי Staff replied 6 years ago

If it is canceled then of course there is no problem.

אורן replied 6 years ago

Even if it is not canceled, can the crumbs in the toaster be considered automatically canceled according to the Gemara in Pesachim, page 6, p. 2: Rav Yehuda said, Rav said: The examiner must cancel. What is the reason? It is not because of crumbs, is it not my opinion?

It seems so.
