==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>
==Food Processor==
# The blade of the food processor should be kashered with hagalah like any other knife. Also, the receptacle should be replaced with a new one.<ref>[https://www.star-k.org/articles/articles/seasonal/pesach/app/4625/pesach-kitchen-checklist/ Star-K]</ref>

==Tables==
# One should kosher one's table by pouring on it boiling water or cover it.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 451:20 writes that one should kosher one's tables since often one spills soup on it. Isn't the majority of use of a table for cold?
