1) Covered griddles, Sandwich makers, waffle makers and other similar small covered heating elements, should be designated for use with one food class only, and once they are used should not ever be used for uncovered food of the opposite class.
If the food being placed in the heating element is hermetically sealed and the element is totally clean and dry, it may be used for the opposite food class.
Though these elements can be koshered, they require Libun Chamur and a Rav must be consulted before doing so.
2) A toaster, which is designed with two receptacles to toast bread only (which pop out when ready), and is never used for anything other than parve bread, may be used to prepare toast or biscuits for use with either meat or dairy meals.
Care must be taken to ensure that the toaster itself does not come in contact with any meat or dairy food. It is also prudent to clean and wash it separately, away from other dishes.
This toaster should be kept away from other meat or milk appliances and utensils and should not be used on the table where a milk or meat meal is being eaten.
If this toaster was used to toast bread that had butter or cheese on it, it may no longer be used to toast parve bread for use with meat. (and vice versa)
It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to kosher such toaster to return it to its Parve status. (See Sefer HaKashrus pages 49-50)
