# You don't need to wait 24 hours since the grates need [[libun]] to be koshered. For a gas stove put a pot on top of the grate so that the fire spreads out and leave it on for a half hour to an hour. For an electric stove you don't need to put a pot on top of it since it'll get hotter evenly.<ref> https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=106099 Rav Shmuel Fuerst (min 14)] | |||

# An electric or gas oven should be cleaned from all specks of Chametz and left 24 hours unused. If it has a self-cleaning mode, it should be put on self-clean and that is sufficient.<ref>Rabbi Jachter (Gray Matter vol. 2, p. 221) quoting Rabbi Elazar Teitz, [http://www.crcweb.org/Passover/2016/Pesach_Guide_2016.pdf CRC Pesach Guide 2016 (p. 19)], Yesodei Yeshurun v. 6 p. 156-160, OU Pesach Guide 2016 p. 24, Halachos of Pesach by Rabbi Ribiat p. 354.</ref> However, if it doesn't have self-clean, many hold that the oven can be heated to the highest temperature it reaches for one hour or two and that is sufficient. <Ref>Rav Ovadia Yosef (Chazon Ovadyah pg 73, Sh”t Yechave Daat 2:63), Rav Aharon Kotler (quoted by Rabbi Eider in Halachos of Pesach 1:180), and Rav Soloveitchik (quoted by Gray Matter vol. 2, p. 219) hold that conventional ovens which don't have a self-cleaning setting can be koshered by raising them to the highest temperature that they can reach for an hour or two. Chut Shani Pesach 10:2 writes that the minhag isn't to kosher such an oven but after the fact the koshering is effective. | # An electric or gas oven should be cleaned from all specks of Chametz and left 24 hours unused.
