# | # 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.<ref> [https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=106099 Rav Shmuel Fuerst (min 14)]. Note that you don't need to wait 24 hours since the grates need [[#libun]] to be koshered. The Mishna Brurah 451:34 writes that really the reason that grates need to be koshered is a chumra of chametz since a pot doesn't absorb from another pot without liquids in between. After the fact if someone used grates without kashering them it isn't an issue.</ref> Some say that you should buy new grates for pesach or put them in the oven at 550 for an hour.<ref>[https://oukosher.org/passover/how-to-kasher-your-kitchen-for-passover/ OU] allows using 550 as libun kal for the grates</ref> Some require that the grates be put in an oven's self-clean cycle.<ref>[https://www.star-k.org/articles/articles/seasonal/338/preparing-kashering-the-pesach-kitchen/ Star-K] writes that the grates should be put in a self-clean cycle to have libun. The Star-K notes that a person should check with the manufacturer if the grates will break in the self-clean cycle.</ref> | ||
