Question
Is it possible to kasher glass-ceramic stovetops for Passover? And can one be lenient if there is no Passover stovetop available?
Answer
Hello,
According to the Sephardic custom, there is no need to kasher the stovetop because it is made of glass, and according to the Shulchan Aruch, it does not absorb anything.
According to the Ashkenazi custom, glass cannot be kashered, and it should be covered with a hermetic cover.
There are two types of stovetops that fit your description. A. Ceramic stovetops - suitable for metal covers. B. Induction stovetops, suitable for silicone covers.
