welcome to the starcade prepay soft kitchen tutorial which will include cleaning and kasha and we hope that this tutorial will help you prepare your kitchen for pace up in a very effective and easy manner Komets is not grime muhammad's is not dirt humus is not dust how much is only some PR particles which are about actors eyes are bigger or any visible items that are part of the combinations many dog on five types of grains so as long as your kitchen looks clean pretty much it is clean and if you don't have to go chasing after all the dust particles and pieces of dirt and grime that are there you might want to clean them off anyway but that is not because they're necessarily a common stick once your kitchen is free of any obvious comets it is ready to be turned over for payza countertops generally speaking just have to be wiped down and covered that's usually the easiest way to prepare countertops for Pesach these countertops are made out of granite technically speaking a solid stone like granite is technically possible however it is something that requires some expertise to do without causing a lot of dangerous hot water spilling all over the place or unless you have some very expensive costly equipment and therefore the easiest way to prepare your countertops is simply to wipe them down and cover them with any kind of impermeable covering whether it's hard plastic contact paper or any other type of hard or soft covering with suffice to cover them for Pesach you do not have to take a toothpick and go scraping into the back over here all you need to do is wipe them down and once they're clean they are completely clean and then they got ready to be covered as far as the backsplash goes as long as you're not putting your pots or food against the backsplash you do not need to cover it of ins and stovetops sometimes a source of stress for people cosmic ovens is a process known as Leoben kalo which means you get it hot enough that a piece of paper will be sinister on the outside of the oven we know that temperature to be at approximately 500 or 550 degrees once an oven reaches the temperature of 500 or 550 degrees for at least 40 minutes that effectively will koster the oven many home ovens are have self clean self clean feature is something that effectively will Kashar the oven self-cleaning ovens shall be wiped down to remove any big pockets of residue which could potentially create a fire hazard the area outside of the oven over here as well as around the sides and in the gasket should also be wiped down to remove any residue the glass as well should be scrubbed to remove as much residue as possible if you're having a hard time moving the residue after one or two applications of easy-off or other caustic chemical whatever is left over you do not have to worry about if your oven is not self clean then it should be cleaned as well as possible and then set on to the highest setting 500 or 550 for at least 40 minutes note that both of these caching processes will also conjure the grapes inside the oven some people are concerned that the grates will become very hard to move once they are run through on a self-cleaning cycle and somehow wood manufacturers also recommend that you not leave the grates inside the oven when you do the self-clean cycle if that is the case then remove the grates run the oven on self clean we put the grates back in the oven and then turn the oven on to five fifty five hundred for at least 40 minutes and that will cost you the grace please note also that if you do have a self-cleaning oven you should ensure that the oven cleanser that you use is approved for use in self-cleaning ovens because self-cleaning ovens have a coating on the walls that can be damaged if you use a regular oven cleanser stove grate should be wiped down and then placed in the oven on 500 or 550 for 40 minutes it is not recommended to put the stove grates in the oven if you soften the oven because that will cause some of the coating on the stove waits to be removed the burners themselves do not need any pasturing they will cost you themselves every time you turn them on the area in between the burners should just be covered with heavy duty foil and that is all you need to do if you have an electric stove the burner itself cashiers itself every time you turn it on the area in between the burners should just simply be covered with foil and that is all you need to do if you have a glass-top stove it cannot be concert effectively and instead you should put some foil later over or some kind of metal disc underneath the pot alternatively there's also product available online called the last top stove mat which is a man that you can place on top of your stove top and you can cook on top of the mat that is what it is meant for once you put that mat in place you can use your glass-top stove as usual rulers and warming drawers cannot be captured effectively and therefore they should just not be used for Pesach our goal is the method used to conquer all types of metal items whether it's Cutler his cups and similar like items in order for doing all effectively the items first have to be cleaned very well first and adding like a fork make sure the area in between over here is specifically cleaned out very very well items also should be unused for anything hot for 24 hours prior to contouring the pot used for hagalo should preferably be a Pesach stick pot alternatively if one is not available you may use a Hamid stick pot that is clean which has not been used for anything within the last 24 hours once the pot is at a rolling boil you're gonna place the items in the pot very carefully to ensure that doesn't splash on you you should also be wearing some sort of protective here to make sure that you don't get injured in this process leave the items in the pot for a few seconds and move them and immediately rinse them them in cold water the rule by contouring is that it whatever way the sink became or item became non pay stuff that became common stick that is how it has to be cost your caballo capital and therefore a sink the way became a common stick was presumably through pouring liquid which is like macaroni water for example therefore the method of costume get is known as eerie roll skin pouring boiling water over this entire part of the sink now the first step is the sink has to be cleaned and not used for 24 hours prior to cos during the sink then the method we're going to use is to pour boiling water over the sink the most practical and safe way to do that is using a kettle electric kettle or a tea kettle commonly found in many houses and pouring that over all the surfaces of the sink the challenge many people have is ensuring that the stream hits every single part of the sink directly from the pot without any breaks so we're gonna demonstrate a method that is very practical and easy to use method which will ensure that you get every part of the sink directly from the pot if you notice when you pour water out of the kettle or out of the pot the water goes in an art if you take that arc and move it over a vertical surface you will effectively get and touch every single part of the vertical surface like this you start from the middle of the sink and work your way out for the faucet simply pour boiling water over the top of the faucet like this if the faucet comes out take the faucet turn it over like that and pour boiling water on the bottom if it does not come out you simply need to make sure the bottom is wiped clean if you have a faucet that has a spout over here that removes you should remove that spout make sure it is cleaned well and then you can use it without further kashering necessary may take a few pots of water to cover the entire sink but you'll safely and effectively cover the entire surface of the sink if your sink has a drain strainer or drain stopper it should be replaced for Pesach almost all dishwashers contain plastic components and therefore the dishwasher should not be used for Pesach there are different opinions on whether a microwave can or cannot be concert for Pesach and therefore the simplest and recommended solution is that it should just be closed up and not used for Pesach cabinets and shelves just need to be wiped down and made sure they're completely clean they do not necessarily need to be lined like this alternately if you would like to cover them all you need to do is just line them with a simple piece of paper or contact paper like this refrigerators and freezers just need to be wiped down to be completely clean no lining is necessary pay attention to the area in the gasket over here to make sure all crumbs are removed we hope you found this video
