FAQs

No. Frying pans absorb food through direct, dry heat and often contain coatings or crevices that cannot be fully purged. Under CRC-aligned standards, frying pans are generally not kasherable and should be replaced. At KasherMyBnB, we provide a brand-new frying pan when you purchase our kashering cutlery and pots service.

No. Non-stick coatings are porous at a microscopic level and are damaged by the high heat required for kashering. CRC guidelines do not permit kashering Teflon or other non-stick cookware.

Items that cannot be thoroughly cleaned, or that contain crevices where food residue can accumulate, may not be kashered. Examples include: Dishwashers (not recommended under CRC guidelines) Sieves, strainers, and graters Utensils with loose-fitting or hollow handles Non-stick cookware

No. We do not kasher dishwashers, in accordance with CRC guidelines. Dishwashers contain filters, seals, hoses, and internal components that trap residue and use recycled hot water. Because thorough cleaning and reliable kashering cannot be guaranteed, CRC guidance does not recommend kashering dishwashers, especially for Pesach.

Often, yes. Many microwaves can be kashered for travel use after deep cleaning followed by a controlled heating or steam process, depending on prior use. If there is heavy splatter, built-up residue, or an unclear usage history, we evaluate the situation and advise the best solution.

For Pesach, plastic utensils are generally not kashered under CRC-aligned practice. For year-round use, kashering depends on the type of plastic, its heat resistance, and community custom.
