Question
Is it possible to kasher an oven used throughout the year for Passover?
Answer
A regular oven cannot be kashered for Passover for several reasons. A. To kasher it, a heavy libun of close to 500 degrees is required, and a regular oven reaches at most 200-300 degrees. B. There is the glass door, which according to the Rema, cannot be kashered. C. The oven's rubber parts are considered like plastic, which is stringently not kashered by hagalah or light libun. D. The walls of the baking chambers are made of enamel, which is stringently not kashered for Passover. [See Sha'ar HaTziyon, Siman 451, Ot 191].
