how do you kasher counter tops on pesach ?
Granite, marble, Caesarstone, wood (if it has a smooth surface), and
stainless steel countertops can be kashered by pouring boiling water on
them (irui).
. Surfaces that cannot be koshered for Pesach, such as Formica and ceramic
tiles, should be covered with non-absorbent material such as contact paper, cardboard or aluminum foil (it is best to use a few layers of
aluminum foil, as it tears easily).
How do you prepare a countertop so it can be kashered with irui ?
Remember to first clean the surface well using a rag that has a
dovor pogem on it.
Make sure the counter was not in direct contact with hot
chometz for the 24-hour period preceding the kashering.
59.3. Pour the boiling water over the entire surface
59.4. When finished, pour cold water over the surface.
