Kashering Lodge Cast Iron Pots

[yzj]

once i sous vide steak, London Broil and chicken there was no going back! so easy, consistent and delicious. Didn't realize you can preheat the grill press (never used one) . You just leave it in pan while preheating?

You can do that or put it straight on another burner. If you do the latter handle it with a glove.

very . was dismissing the concern prior to me getting the words out of my mouth . Not necessarily a meikal in general.

Okay it is interesting though that the hechsherim which researched it seem to all understand the metzius differently.

so asked a pretty widely accepted rov (most people here have heard of him and his seforim) today who told me that i don't need to kasher at all because its just vegetable derivative . in for one of these! thanx!

I see putting cheese on a burger as a similar issue to the "Shabbos Switch". How do you explain to a little kid why this burger could have cheese, and this one can't... etc.

By not calling it a burger/meat
Either way I don't really see what the issue is. I don't think any explanation is needed other than one is meat and the other isn't.

Halivei that was the issue with the shabbos switch. And if you can’t explain this one to your kid good luck with e/t else in 2019.

It's the same concept IMO.

I believe boundaries to some degree are needed to stay as close as possible to a mesorah...

You either understand it, or most likely never will...

It's a veggie burger, not lab grown meat, calm down.

I found the worst Impossible Burger ever at Pepsi Arena for a Denver Nuggets game.

The CRC agrees
http://www.crcweb.org/Sappirim/Sappirim%2022%20(Jan%202012).pdf

The COR does not require any kashering at all

CRC article is a bit funny.  If hagaala is good enough, then why does it even need hagaala, considering that the seasoning is applied at temps that are already high enough for libun kal, no?

It is not so simple that it can go both directions in one process

Lodge actually directs consumers to season the cast iron by applying oil/ shortening and putting it at 350-400F for one hour. That is below the level of kash nisraf. Perhaps their preseasoning is done at similar temps.

Do you have to kasher a Lodge cast iron?

I think the thread needs to be split from here.
