Question
Shalom, I have an electric hotplate (Shabbat plata) that I want to use on Pesach. I tried cleaning it several times with Sano Moriz, but some dirt remains that does not come off. Is it permissible to cover the hotplate with thick aluminum foil and use it like that on Pesach?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
The directive of our teacher, HaRav HaGaon Rabbi Amram Fried shlita:
Ideally, one should designate a special electric hotplate just for Pesach.
One who does not have this should clean it thoroughly with a cleaning agent, turn it on for an hour. Those who are meticulous pour boiling water from a kli rishon (a primary vessel) over it. After that, cover it with thick aluminum foil.
