Question
Hello, Our home is kosher for Passover, and this Shabbat we will carefully eat rolls in a bag. We have leftover kishke and barley for cholent and wanted to make it in a disposable pot. Can we place it on a Passover hotplate with layers of aluminum foil as a barrier? Thank you
Answer
Hello
In principle, it is permitted, but it is difficult to say that it is recommended, as problems can easily arise.
For example, when the cholent boils and splashes onto the stove or other utensils, they become chametz.
Furthermore, when all the utensils in the kitchen are for Passover, and one dish is chametz, it is very common for a Passover ladle to accidentally be placed in the pot, and if it is then placed in a Passover dish, the entire dish becomes chametz.
Therefore, I advise setting up a chametz hotplate outside the Passover kitchen and heating the cholent there.
