Kashering an electric stove

Question

Is it possible to kasher an electric stove (not ceramic) that was used for chametz for Pesach? And can it be kashered from meat to dairy and vice versa?

Answer

I will quote from the instructions of our teacher HaRav HaGaon Rabbi Amram Fried shlita:

Electric cooktops: there is no possibility to kasher them; one may only use them by covering the cooktop well with thick aluminum foil (100 microns). And there are those who are meticulous and use a special cooktop for Pesach.
