# Regarding aluminum tins, which are commonly only used once and then disposed of, there is a new point of discussion. Rav Moshe Feinstein (Igrot Moshe YD 3:23) proves from the rishonim that utensils which don’t last for an extended period of time, such as a vessel made from a pumpkin, don’t accept tumah. He assumes that since temporary vessels don’t qualify as a vessel for tumah, it must not also with regards to tevilat kelim. Seemingly, this applies to aluminum pans.<ref>An article on [http://oukosher.org/passover/articles/immersing-ourselves-in-tevilat-keilim/ ou.org] writes that aluminum pans are exempt according to Rav Moshe. Mishneh Halachot 7:111 fundamentally agrees with Rav Moshe but writes that aluminum pans are obligated since it could be reused many times.</ref> Nonetheless, he adds, that vessels which could last a long time but are disposed of because they are cheap would certainly be obligated in tevilat kelim, even for a single use. Some, however, argue that even such vessels don’t qualify as a vessel.<ref>Chelkat Yacov YD 46, OC 152:2, Minchat Yitzchak 5:32</ref> See above [[#Disposable_Utensils]] for general disposable utensils. | # Regarding aluminum tins, which are commonly only used once and then disposed of, there is a new point of discussion.

# Some hold that disposable grills don't need tevilat kelim.<ref>Avnei Darech 9:105 writes that since the way people generally use the dispoable grills is to use it once and then throw it out because it is difficult to clean it is considered a utensil that can only be used once and is exempt from tevilat kelim. He is relying upon the leniency of Rav Moshe Feinstein in Igrot Moshe YD 3:23 regarding tin pans and expands upon it. He adds that if the way of the world changes and it is easy to clean and people do reuse them then it would require tevilah.</ref> Others hold that they are obligated in tevilat kelim. <ref>Rav Yisrael | # Some hold that disposable grills don't need tevilat kelim.<ref>Avnei Darech 9:105 writes that since the way people generally use the dispoable grills is to use it once and then throw it out because it is difficult to clean it is considered a utensil that can only be used once and is exempt from tevilat kelim.

Also, in Avnei Darech he copies a letter he received from the author of Sh"t Michkarei Aretz who disagreed with him and holds that disposable grills which are sturdy and can be reused need tevilah. Since the reason that they're not reused is just for convenience makes it obligated in tevilat kelim.</ref> | ||
