Why can’t you use regular cutlery on Passover?
Question
Hello,
If you clean cutlery well, why can’t you use it on Passover? After all, there’s no leavened food left on it.
Presumably the same goes for plates, bowls, and the like.
Answer
Beyond customs, at root this is the issue of absorption into utensils.
