Question

An oven that was used for meat and is now intended to be used for dairy, and the rabbi instructs to turn it on to the highest temperature for one hour—when one is at his secular parents’ home, may one be more lenient about this?

Answer

It is possible to kasher the oven by heating it for twenty minutes at the highest temperature, and even if the thermostat does not switch off and one sees that it has not yet reached the maximum temperature, one may be lenient and consider this as light libun (libun kal).
