Immersion of Aluminum Pans

Question

Is it necessary to immerse disposable aluminum baking pans manufactured abroad?

Answer

Some are stringent to immerse, but the common custom is to be lenient and not to immerse them. The reason for those who are lenient is that they deteriorate after use and are therefore typically discarded after one use, and thus do not have the status of a 'vessel'.
