Question
Is it possible to kasher pyrolytic ovens for Passover?
Answer
A pyrolytic oven regarding its kashering for Passover involves many details:
A. To kasher an oven for Passover, a high temperature of about 470 degrees is required. Although this oven reaches 500 degrees, the problem is that not all parts of the oven reach 500 degrees, only 450 degrees.
B. In ovens where the heating element is not inside the walls of the oven, there are opinions that in this case, it is impossible to kasher the oven. Therefore, one should consult a knowledgeable authority familiar with these ovens. All items that are usually removed before activating the (self-cleaning) program should be purchased new for Passover.
