Burning the Separated Challah Portion
Question
Is it permitted to burn the separated challah portion on aluminum foil directly on the oven? And if it is forbidden, does the food baked in the oven afterward become prohibited?
Answer
Shalom u'vrachah
One should not burn it inside the oven lechatchilah, since vapors from the burning rise to the walls of the oven.
If one did burn challah there, lechatchilah the oven should be kashered by turning it on for one hour at the highest temperature.
The challah portion may be burned over a gas flame, or on the stovetop grate — if he wraps the separated portion or the grate in aluminum foil.
