==Sink==
# A should pour hot water (that is [[Yad Soledet Bo]]) on top of all of the surfaces of the sink including the faucet itself. Even so it is best not to place the dishes on the bottom of the sink but rather on top of a rack.<Ref>[https://yeshiva-university.zoom.us/rec/play/usAsduuh-283HoLAtASDAPZ9W9S0eq2s0igX-_pez0jkW3EFZFr1M7QRa7Qf9B_vOGt5lyO0vcW9I1-0?startTime=1585760529000&_x_zm_rtaid=CQsocm3ZRaq6pGgFL5OMGQ.1585880286593.75ff95374a21dbfc2f0c45524d508e2a&_x_zm_rhtaid=674 Rav Willig (April 1 2020, min 4-5)] explained that since it is possible for noodles when being strained into the sink to fall onto the sink directly they could cause a greater transfer of taste then simply doing hagalah with water, therefore, a person shouldn't use the bottom of the sink even after doing hagalah with iruy.</ref>

# You don't need to wait 24 hours since the grates need [[libun]] to be koshered. For a gas stove put a pot on top of the grate so that the fire spreads out and leave it on for a half hour to an hour. For an electric stove you don't need to put a pot on top of it since it'll get hotter evenly so you only need to turn it on for 10-20 minutes.<ref> https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=106099 Rav Shmuel Fuerst (min 14)]</ref>
