So someone has one oven in their home and
it's used for Fleishigs. Now they want to
bake Milchig foods for Shavuot. What is the
best practice in order to use their Fleishig
oven to cook Milchig foods? If you can double
wrap your dairy foods, keep the oven Fleishig,
and make sure none of the Milchig leaks out of
the pan, then that is fine. That might be even
the easiest and best method. Otherwise, if you
need to bake it open, you need to kasher the
oven ahead of time. First, cleaning out the
oven, making sure that there's no residue,
no large stains of drips of meat in the oven.
Then waiting 24 hours after it's been cleaned.
Heating up the oven to the highest temperature.
Let's say 500°, 550° for an hour. Then you can
now use it for Milchig. Now, after cooking
Milchigs, you have to do the process again.
Make sure it's still clean. Okay? Hopefully,
nothing dripped and then it's clean. You wait
24 hours and then again you would burn out the
oven at 500 or 550 for an hour and now we could
go back to Fleishigs again. Now, this obviously
could take a lot of time. If a person wakes
up on Erev Shavuot and wants to start making
Milchigs, it's not going to be so practical.
Then you'll have to follow the first method of
making sure that everything is double wrapped.
