Question
Found a 'blech' or electric hot plate on the street, and there is a concern that non-kosher food was heated on it. Is it permissible to use it?
Answer
It is not necessary to kasher it for use on Shabbat during the year, because the use is through utensils, and from utensil to utensil, it does not transfer without sauce (Mishna Berura, Siman 451, Se'if Katan 34), and even if placing dry food, it should be placed on a barrier.
