Question

I baked challahs from an amount of dough that requires separating challah with a blessing, but I forgot to do so and only remembered a few days later, after we had already eaten from them. What is the halacha regarding the separation now and regarding the oven, etc.?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha. 

Regarding the separation: if even a small amount of the baked goods remains, you should separate a piece from what is left, and this separation will also rectify that which has already been eaten. 

If nothing at all remains, there is nothing that can be done regarding the separation, and you should kasher the oven and the baking trays by heating them at the highest temperature of the oven for one hour.
