Question
How do you kasher an electric kettle for Passover?
Answer
The kettle should be thoroughly cleaned both outside and from any limescale inside, then boil water in the kettle and pour out the water. According to the basic law, the kettle is then kosher for Passover. In cases where it is customary to sometimes warm a slice of cake by placing it on the kettle, or if it is difficult to completely remove the limescale [especially if boiling water was poured from the kettle over chicory coffee or cereal porridge], it is recommended to buy a new kettle for Passover.
Note: The answer refers to a kettle used only for boiling water [or another product kosher for Passover, and not a kettle in which, for example, porridge is also boiled].
