Question
Found a 'blech' or electric hotplate on the street, can it be used, or is there a concern that it has absorbed forbidden substances?
Answer
It does not need to be koshered for use on Shabbat throughout the year, since the use is through utensils and nothing transfers from utensil to utensil without sauce (Mishnah Berurah, Siman 451, Se'if Katan 34), and even if placing dry food, it should be placed on a barrier.

M. Mishnah Berurah, Siman 451, Se'if Katan 34.
