We would like to use disposables where we can.
I didn't see this discussed anywhere, so I think this could be a valuable topic, especially if we can add a wiki.

If you eat non shmura matzah outside of sedarim, most stores in the NYC area give 5lbs free or highly discounted with a minimum purchase, so it behooves one to spread shopping trips over different days/stores in order to get the deal as many times as needed.
Even if you don't eat the matzah, perhaps a family member or neighbor can use it, or you just save it for Shalosh Seduos during the year. Often Tomchei Shabbos will take any surplus boxes.

You'll likely need disposable plastic containers: 3 oz, 8 oz, 1 lb, 2 lb. Convenient for *everything*.
More disposables: foil pans of all sizes, foil, plastic wrap, vinyl tablecloth, 5 oz. cups (for sedarim), larger cups, bowls, plates, knives, spoons, forks, Ziploc bags in quart and gallon sizes, plastic baggies, twist ties, paper towels, stove foil, soup bags, counter covers, etc.
Like someone said, every year you can buy some non-disposables to replace the disposables. This is our 20th year making Pesach, and we still add to our kitchen equipment one or two things each year.
At the very minimum, start out with a good chef's knife and cutting board. The knife, almost singlehandedly, makes Pesach food prep less burdensome. Peeler, paring knife, two fleishig pots, frying pan, utensil to use with frying pan. That's the bare minimum.

They don't leave a residue?The first one I linked to never does (and in case you want to tape something inside a refrigerator, it's probably the only thing that will hold). The second one can be removed many times without residue, and when there is residue it's not too bad/difficult to remove IME. It is highly waterproof, I use it at seams.

if you will be doing any of your own pesach cakes then get a stand mixerI use my food processor to whip the eggs and a hand mixer for the rest of the batter and then combine. I don't have a Pesach stand mixer. Although a simple one is not too expenseive.

We don't even own a food processor for year round. (We *had* one, but gave it away after it sat mostly unused for the better part of a decade.)
General advice: at the end of Pesach, when you are putting everything away, make a list of THINGS YOU NEED and THINGS YOU DON'T NEED for the following Pesach, and hang it up just inside your Pesach cabinet/bin. We usually put away some consumables, so those we would include on the DON'T NEED list, but if we ran out of something, or there is something we see we can't live without, it goes on the NEED list. The next Pesach, we can do our shopping before we are ready to unpack everything.

Also griding the Chrein is much easier with a good food processor.
I guess when it comes to equipment, it makes a huge difference as to what your Pesach menu looks like. For example, I can't imagine any use for a mixer in our Pesach kitchen. But definitely have use for a good food processor, a good manual citrus juice squeezer, and can make good use of a blender (for fruit smoothies).

Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse Cake
------------------------------------------
Edited...Deleted as it really doesn't belong. Can PM me, or I'll post in a better place.
Post by: stooges44 on March 12, 2019, 03:33:43 PM
Someone asked for the recipe. It's from America's Test Kitchen. We leave out the flour for Pesach, use margarine instead of butter.
Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse Cake
Makes one 9-inch cake, serving 12 to 16
Because it is available in most supermarkets and has scored highly in past tastings, Hershey's Special Dark is the chocolate of choice in this recipe. Other bittersweet chocolates will work, but because the amounts of sugar and cocoa butter differ from brand to brand, they will produce cakes with slightly different textures and flavors. When crumbling the brown sugar to remove lumps, make sure that your fingers are clean and grease-free; any residual fat from butter or chocolate might hinder the whipping of the whites. If you like, dust the cake with confectioners' sugar just before serving or top slices with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream. To make slicing easier, freeze the cake for 30 minutes just before serving.
12 tablespoons (1 ˝ sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces, plus 1 teaspoon softened butter for greasing pan
Flour for dusting pan
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate (such as Hershey's Special Dark), chopped
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
8 large eggs, separated
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup (4 ˝ ounces) packed light brown sugar, crumbled with fingers to remove lumps (see note)
1. Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter the sides of a 9-inch springform pan; flour the sides and tap out the excess. Line the bottom of the pan with a parchment or waxed paper round. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with a large sheet of foil.
2. Melt 12 tablespoons butter and the chocolates in a large bowl over a large saucepan containing about 2 quarts barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate mixture is smooth. Cool the mixture slightly, then whisk in the vanilla and egg yolks. Set the chocolate mixture aside, reserving the hot water, covered, in the saucepan.
3. In the clean bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and salt at medium speed until frothy, about 30 seconds; add half of the crumbled brown sugar, beat at high speed until combined, about 30 seconds, then add the remaining brown sugar and continue to beat at high speed until soft peaks form when the whisk is lifted (see photo on page 334), about 2 minutes longer. Using a whisk, stir about one third of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining egg whites in 2 additions, using the whisk. Gently scrape the batter into the prepared springform pan, set the springform pan in a large roasting pan, then pour the hot water from the saucepan into the roasting pan to a depth of 1 inch. Carefully slide the roasting pan into the oven; bake until the cake has risen, is firm around the edges, the center has just set, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers about 170 degrees, 45 to 55 minutes.
4. Remove the springform pan from the water bath, discard the foil, and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a thin-bladed paring knife between the sides of the pan and cake to loosen; cool the cake in the springform pan on a wire rack until barely warm, about 3 hours, then wrap the pan in plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 8 hours. (The cake can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.)
5. To unmold the cake, remove the sides of the pan. Slide a thin metal spatula between the cake and pan bottom to loosen, then invert the cake onto a large plate, peel off the parchment, and re-invert onto a serving platter. To serve, use a sharp, thin-bladed knife, dipping the knife in a pitcher of hot water and wiping the blade before each cut.

Yes and No. Get them, but get the smallest acceptable size based on the Halachic ruling you follow. So I'd say not those in the link.+1. If you want nice glasses for pesach meals in general, go right ahead. But don't buy 12oz glasses to use for the 4 cups.

Easiest solution - no tomatoes on Pesach.If your looking for Chumrahs start with matzo.
Typical Chosid Shoitah ( Not you of course)
Peels all their tomatoes , squeezes their own fruit ,
And ..Than buys the cheapest Matzos,
and is essentially “mishing” With the lowest standard bakery .

why would you need a new bathstopper or hair clipperSimilar to changing batteries on smoke detectors when clocks are moved, it's just a prompt to do something that might be done periodically. Or just a way for the store to get you to buy additional items and maybe get you into another aisle in the store.

Why don't people then bake all of their own matzahs? Sugar? Chocolate?
What is the line of things that are allowed to be produced elsewhere?
I know of one family that bakes their own matzah, but for most people it's simply not practical. I know quite a few that don't use sugar. And many that will cook the sugar before Pesach, and won't use chocolate.
So it's basically Matzos and Wine that are almost universally not produced at home (though for wine that might still mean homemade wine - just not at my own home, rather by someone else I trust).

Why is an individual's wine more trustworthy that Eidah Charedis wine? You personally use zero externally processed foods other than matzah? Do you milk the cows yourself (pasturization and added minerals)?
This reminds me of the Mishnah in Pesachim that talks about whether you need to redo your bedikah in case a mouse brings in a piece of bread, and the masknah is Ein L'Dvar Sof.

So the question here is what's considered normal and what is extreme. It is a subjective question, and no use arguing, no one will change anyone else's mind.

Do you milk the cows yourself (pasturization and added minerals)?Any commercial wine has additives. My wife and most of the kids don't go for dry wine, so it's Eidah Charedis certified wine for them.
I try to avoid comercially processed foods as much as possible.
I don't milk the cows myself, and don't really use dairy, as there's not much to be done with it (I'm not a milk drinker, nor is anyone in my house). But in theory, that would be another processed food that I would use under the "no other practical choice" rule.

You remind me of a head of a certain Kashrus organization who claimed that Orange Juice under his organizations certification is more mehudar for Pesach, as the commerical plants bathe/wash the oranges prior to squeezing. The only issue is that he was making an assumption - at my home we wash oranges, grapefruit and lemons which are squeezed on Pesach.

1) A place that doesn't usually have chometz needs a check not an inch by inch scrub. Unless you have small kids that eat around the house, or you tend to eat in your bedroom, check the drawers (no need to spring clean them), check the closet shelves and the clothing pockets and cuffs, vaccuum everywhere - voila! your bedroom is done.
2) If you're selling it to a goy - don't scrub it! dishes, pots, etc Food cabinets don't need to be emptied and spring cleaned before being closed up for the goy. For those who don't sell actual chometz, check with your rov if crumbs on the pantry shelves count.
3) Toys. Close up the majority for the week. Take out the things they really play with and clean those to leave out.
Cleaning toys for Pesach doesn't mean making the toys clean. Grunge is NOT chometz. Prepare a shissel with water and add a bit of cleanser, such as Mr. Clean. All plastic toys get dunked and put onto a towel. Sit on the floor and dunk Lego/ Duplo, little people toy. A little tedious, but all the chometz is fully nullified. Of course if you see a chunk of dirt on a piece, toss it into the cabinet to save for after Pesach. Large plastic toys can be sprayed with a cleanser/ water mixture without being wiped down and actually cleaned.

Post by: Shua on March 22, 2020, 02:45:32 PM
A food processor for kugels
Get new oven racks for pesach. If you self clean your oven and leave the racks in it will become harder to slide in and out of the oven.
On that note many ovens break if you self clean. Ask Rov if there is ways around this (500 for a few hours). If you have a double wall oven and need to self clean definitely do it at separate times (and open a window).
The St moritz oven spray is amazing but be CAREFUL. Can cause burns.
Get a sink insert if you have stainless steel sinks so doesnt scratch the sink
I have a small toaster oven and fridge that I use for chometz once we change over so the kids can eat (will prob change motzie shabbos before yom tov this year) and leave it in dining room
We are a family of 6 (2 adults 4 kids) and we used 7lbs of matzo last year. Last year there was no shabbos chol hamohed but we did have guests/family for a seder and other meals which probably (definitely?) wont happen this year. So I assume around 7lbs again. (Rather have too much then too little!)
A bottle of wine equals a bit more than all 4 cups. So a bottle of wine a person per night.
Definitely talk to your Rov regarding how to clean your kitchen (you might be a lot more machmir than you think).
Post by: 12HRS on March 22, 2020, 04:57:05 PM
I cannot stress enough how important it will be to discuss any chumros (including those due to minhagim) with a Rov. This year is a true sha'as hadchak.

Cleaning is only necessary in places that might come in contact with food on Pesach, and to the extent cleaning is necessary to make searching possible.But in place that "machnisim bo chometz" - places actually used for chometz, like the kitchen, you need to 'search' for very long, while holding a scouring pad and cleanser.

Three things:1. With the right equipment it's actually quite easy and quick. If you have sufficient funds I can recommend some great equipment. Such as a steamer that has a setting which shoots 210f water who h according to RSZA even works for the chumra of davar gush since it's all ha'eish. Little mess. Quick job. Cost $1150. Also works great for general cleaning. Small and large brush heads

Looking for a decent option to use now to cook and bake and then for the 7 days of Pesach which is when I'll really need it.

Plastic insert that fits the sink dimensions.Can't find any that are nearly as big. Would it work to literally buy a sink and drop it in?
Like this for example

[/size]I tell my wife there is no concept in halacha of "cleaning" for Pesach, only searching for chametz. Cleaning is only necessary in places that might come in contact with food on Pesach, and to the extent cleaning is necessary to make searching possible.Agree?You need to search for Chometz wherever there may be chometz in the house. According to Reb Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, once you cleaned you do not need bedika (probably because it is now considered בדוק). So technically you are right that only the kitchen and eating areas need cleaning. But if you don't clean your closets etc, you MUST do a bedika thoroughly especially if you have young children in th house.

Three things:For the record, you are allowed to eat kneidlach on erev pesach! and believe it or not, they are not Chametz! Although whose of us who are makpid on gebrokts (myself included) would need a pot to cook it in.
1-The kitchen takes longer than you think. Leave yourself plenty of time to kasher and cover AFTER the cleaning is all done.
2-Preparing for the seder also takes time.
3-Don't forget that everyone needs to eat on Erev Pesach. Some ideas: vegetable soup, potato knishes, fried hamburgers and yapchik.

The point of bedikS chometz is to confirm that everything was indeed cleaned well. Sort of like a conformation scan.

https://www.star-k.org/articles/articles/seasonal/357/the-busiest-day-of-the-year-the-laws-of-erev-pesach/
Quote
Products containing matzoh meal that are baked (e.g. matzoh meal cake) may not be eaten all day Erev Pesach. Kosher for Passover matzoh meal products that are cooked (e.g. knaidlach) may be eaten until the beginning of the 10th halachic hour of the day- three halachic hours before sunset.
One who does not eat gebrochts on Pesach may only eat knaidlach and other cooked matzoh meal products until the latest time for eating chometz. He may not eat baked matzoh meal products all day.

Nothing in our boxes require Tevillas Keilim, (town Keilim Mikvah is closed). The Poskim’s guidance covers Tevillas Keilim in general and our boxes in particular.Trying to figure out what that means. Is everything exempt from Tevillah? Or are they relying on the same heteirim I would use if I bought something on Amazon?

This is from Pesachbox.com:Trying to figure out what that means. Is everything exempt from Tevillah? Or are they relying on the same heteirim I would use if I bought something on Amazon?“It will remain legally under the ownership of a אינו יהודי until after pesach”

Got it last weekGotcha, but seemingly no longer an option.
Either way,
@aygart can keilim be toiveled in lake carasaljo? If not is there any better places around?
That is what I am currently advising people based upon guidance I recieved.
https://425737ce-f973-4dfc-9489-f94594893f71.filesusr.com/ugd/628775_27264a5995c941e586cedcbdd2982b90.pdf (https://425737ce-f973-4dfc-9489-f94594893f71.filesusr.com/ugd/628775_27264a5995c941e586cedcbdd2982b90.pdf)(The guidance I received did not include anything about an inlet)
These are the instructions from https://www.pesachbox.com/ (https://www.pesachbox.com/)QuoteThe Kailim Mikva is closed. Tevilas Kailim for dishes or appliances requiring tevilla may be done at Lake Carasaljo in an inlet that is not in the main flow of water (one such spot is area near Lakewood Avenue and 5th Street, as the Rosh Yeshiva Reb Aharon Zt”l allowed Tevilas Kailim along that area.) Extreme care should be taken to find a separate spot with full social distancing and to not be near anyone else.

ALOR but IIRC my rav said yes. He also said that R Shlomo Zalman said that a bechor can join a siyum (with a minyan) over the phone.Not sure where you got the minyan part, but regardless it is definitely better to make your own Siyum (veven according to RSZ).

Thank you, but I was specifically asking for That was still my question, as I personally canThis option was not mentioned at all in the guidance issued by BMG poskim. They said to use the lake.
Also note that in the guidlines here https://bit.ly/2xL7amu From R' Kleinman and reviewed by R Shmuel Kamenetzky this option is described in this manner
Tevilas Keilim
1. It is not so safe to go to keilim mikva'os as the surfaces may be contaminated. In fact many
keilim mikvaos are closed. Therefore for tevilas keilim you should go to the bay, and tovel in
the ocean water. The bay can be easily accessed via Burnett St. off Ave. U. Opposite the
courtyard of the apartment building there is a path to the water (right behind the guardrail).
The area is open, quiet & safe.
2. B'sha'as hadchak, i.e. if you have no access to a natural body of water fit for tevila within a
72 minute drive from your home, you can sell a share in the k'li to a non-jew, thus
exempting the k'li from tevila.
3. B'sha'as hadchak gadol if you cannot do any of the aforementioned options, you can be
mafkir the keilim in front of three people and then use without tevila. This is only b'sha'as
hadchak gadol where one of the other options are absolutely unfeasible

Interesting teshuva from Minchas Yitzchok (from 1935) attached on what fuels are ok for the mitzvah of sereifas chometz according to Reb Yehudah. Some hold that only wood is allowed but he disagrees and says that any fire is fine.You can do both - pre light some wood inside your grill and then burn your chometz on that.
Rabbis @aygart and @Dan hit it on the nail.
ETA: Obviously if you don't have wood, don't let that stop you from burning or otherwise disposing in the manner your LOR tells you to.
