If one kashers a <strong>kli <\/strong>via <strong>hagala<\/strong> without first cleaning it, he must clean it and then redo the <strong>hagala<\/strong> (SA 451:3).<\/p>\n<p>If the <strong>kli<\/strong> has cracks and crevices from which it is hard to remove food residue, it must be cleaned with a lot of soap, until it is certain that the residual food on it is not fit for a dog to eat, and then <strong>hagala<\/strong> may be performed. Likewise, if a pot has handles, one must clean around the handles with a lot of soap so that the food residue that may have been left there is completely befouled.<sup><a href='#_te01ftn10_7' id='_te01ftnref10_7' class='aup1'>[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Handles of <strong>kelim <\/strong>must also be kashered because when metal vessels are heated during cooking, the heat spreads to the handles, and if they reach the temperature of <strong>yad<\/strong> <strong>soledet bo<\/strong>, the entire <strong>kli<\/strong>, including its handles, is considered as a <strong>kli<\/strong> in which a forbidden food was cooked, and the entire <strong>kli<\/strong> must be kashered. Its handles can be kashered through <strong>irui<\/strong> from a <strong>kli<\/strong> <strong>rishon<\/strong>, because their use and absorption are not as intense as a <strong>kli<\/strong> <strong>rishon<\/strong> over fire (Rema 451:12). The handles of wooden <strong>kelim <\/strong>also must be kashered, even though they do not get so hot, because sometimes the cooking food drips or sprays onto the handles, and its flavor becomes absorbed in and stuck to the handles. Therefore, both the <strong>kli<\/strong> and its handles must undergo <strong>hagala<\/strong> (SA 451:12; MB <strong>ad loc<\/strong>. 68).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kelim <\/strong>that are likely to be damaged by the kashering process may not be kashered. This is why earthen <strong>kelim<\/strong> cannot be kashered; since earthenware absorbs a lot of flavor, <strong>hagala<\/strong> cannot cause the release of all the flavor it absorbed. <strong>Libun <\/strong>could kasher an earthenware <strong>kli<\/strong>, as <strong>libun<\/strong> incinerates all the flavor that the <strong>kli <\/strong>absorbed, but since <strong>libun<\/strong> is likely to make an earthenware <strong>kli<\/strong> shatter, there is concern that <strong>libun <\/strong>will not be performed properly. Therefore, the established <strong>halakha <\/strong>is that there is no way to kasher an earthenware <strong>kli<\/strong>. The only way to kasher an earthenware vessel is to return it to the kiln, where it is impossible to protect it from the full force of the kiln\u2019s fire. Then, if the <strong>kli <\/strong>survives, it is as though it has been made anew (SA 451:1; MB <strong>ad loc. <\/strong>13, 14).<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, baking trays, Teflon skillets, and Wonder Pots (an Israeli invention used for baking cakes on stovetops), since they absorb taste through fire, cannot be kashered, as the prevailing custom accords with the stringent view (in section 5) that requires a temperature of 350-400<sup>o<\/sup>C to kasher them, and at such a temperature, they will likely become warped to the extent that most people would prefer to simply throw them out. However, as we learned (<strong>ibid<\/strong>.), in times of need one may rely on the lenient view that <strong>kelim<\/strong> used in fire can be kashered at the temperature they were used to bake or roast, and at such a temperature, they will not be ruined.<sup><a href='#_te01ftn10_8' id='_te01ftnref10_8' class='aup1'>[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<div>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>\n<div>\n<a href='#_te01ftnref10_7' id='_te01ftn10_7'>[7]<\/a>. SA 451:3 states that the solution for crevices is to perform <strong>libun <\/strong>at the place of the crevices to incinerate the food residue there. The <strong>poskim<\/strong> wrote that a wooden knife case, since it will burn up during <strong>libun<\/strong>, cannot be kashered (Rema, <strong>Taz<\/strong>, MA, MB, etc.). It stands to reason that they did not mention the solution of rinsing it in soap because it did not exist, so <strong>libun<\/strong> was the only solution for food residue in crevices.<\/p>\n<p><a href='#_te01ftnref10_8' id='_te01ftn10_8'>[8]<\/a>. The accepted ruling is that baking trays must be kashered by means of heavy <strong>libun<\/strong>, and since this is likely to ruin them, they should not be kashered for Pesa\u1e25 (<strong>Or Le-Tziyon<\/strong> 3:10:2; <strong>Be-ohalah Shel Torah<\/strong> 1:18; <strong>Sidur Pesa\u1e25 Ke-hilkhato<\/strong> 8:40; <strong>Hagalat Kelim <\/strong>5:6; 13:315). The same applies to Wonder Pots and Teflon skillets. However, in times of need, one may be lenient and kasher them at the temperature at which they absorbed flavor, as we learned in section 5 that in times of need one may rely on the lenient view that kashering temperature hinges on the temperature at which the absorption by fire took place. We also learned in section 3 that one may factor in the view that <strong>\u1e25ametz <\/strong>is considered \u201c<strong>heteira bala<\/strong>\u201d and can be kashered by means of <strong>hagala<\/strong>. This leniency is reinforced by the opinion of <strong>Shul\u1e25an Gavo\u2019ah<\/strong> 451:31 and <strong>Responsa Tiferet Adam<\/strong>, O\u1e24 16, that when one coats a baking tray with oil, the tray has the status of a pot that absorbed through liquid and is kashered by means of <strong>hagala<\/strong>. <strong>\u1e24azon Ovadia: Pesa\u1e25<\/strong>, p. 134, states that one who wishes to rely on this view may do so. It seems that they mean to say that because of this oil, the pastry does not stick to the <strong>kli<\/strong>, and it can therefore be removed easily from the tray. Therefore, its absorption is not considered to be by means of fire. There is room to say that in a case that one is careful to place a baking sheet between the pastry and the tray, according to this view, there is no absorption through fire, and so it can be kashered by means of <strong>hagala<\/strong>. In the case of baking sheets, perhaps other <strong>poskim<\/strong> would concur with this view.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A kli must be cleaned before undergoing hagala, for although boiling water extracts the flavor absorbed in and stuck to the kli, it does not clean the kli of residual food stuck to it.
