Why do you need to kasher gas stove grates for Passover
Question
Hello,
Why, on Passover, do you need to immerse the grates of a gas stove in boiling water or cover them with aluminum foil? Why isn’t it enough simply to light the burners for a few minutes, so that it will burn off / completely char any trace of leavened food that might be there?
Answer
Who says you do? Heating until red-hot certainly works.
