But he said, you can kasher plastic on Pesach.
Remember, during COVID, everything was considered to kasher plastic, because everyone was just going out of their minds.
So when people needed to kasher their dishwashers, because they had to clean a single dish...
they were going to, you know, they were going to fall to pieces.
So we were, some posts were made during COVID.
But it's hard to imagine a tzaraq kadol of a dishwasher now that you have stores like Amazing Savings where you buy fancy plastic and you can use fancy plastic for all your yontem suddus.
You'll have nothing to wash.
So, you know, it's not the end of the world.
Someone told me that, a friend of mine, Gavri Butler, told me that his father was once at a shiur that Rabbi Fran was giving
and he was talking about Amir al-Anakhri, and he said, the problem with the dishwasher on Shabbos is that it's Amir al-Anakhri to ask the Anakhri to turn on the dishwasher on Shabbos, and that's the real problem.
It's not because of Afshar Mills or whatever, it's Amir al-Anakhri.
And he said, what if your air conditioner breaks?
Can you have the Anakhri?
So Rebbe Fran said, yeah, yeah, make him to ask the Anakhri to turn on the air conditioner on a hot day.
So someone raised their hand and said, is that possibly because you don't wash the dishes, but you do sweat when it's hot outside?
So, you know, it's very easy for me to be makhmur on dishwashers.
But I think that's the minig of olam.
Generally, we try to be makhmur on dishwashers unless it's a major sort of godel, if it's a plastic dishwasher.
Now, dishwashers...
Even if the body of the dishwasher is metal, the racks are usually rubber-coated, or oftentimes rubber-coated, and that is a din of plastic, so that would be a problem.
