Kashering a Kitchen Countertop with Libun
Question
Can a kitchen countertop be kashered using only a burner without pouring boiling water?
Answer
Hello,
In principle, libun is effective in place of hagalah.
However, since it can damage the countertop, libun is prohibited because there is a concern that it may not be done properly.
