Q. Dear
Rabbi, I don’t have a self clean oven and I wanted to buy a toaster
oven for Pesach. I heard that they test it with a piece of bread. Is
this true? If so how would I kasher it for Pesach?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a surprisingly confirmed that he has
heard of this test, it is however unlikely that this particular new
oven was subjected to this test. The best approach is to call the
manufacturer and inquirer if their company engages in this test
procedure.
