Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

That's certainly not a problem in terms of starting the clock on your kashring.

So what is it when it comes to dishwashers?

Why is there an issue when it comes to dishwashers?

So you have to first cut through a lot of the stuff that's no longer relevant when you do the research on dishwashers.

There's a lot of discussion about kashring porcelain

In the postgame that first discussed dishwashers after dishwashers were invented, I think the last time a dishwasher was made with actual porcelain was probably before I was born.

I mean, they don't make dishwashers, and I'm at least like 22 years old already.

So it's been a while since they made dishwashers with any porcelain.

So you don't have the issue of cautioning a porcelain dishwasher anymore.

The issues that you have are plastic dishwashers and metal dishwashers, and even the metal dishwashers are plastic because the racks are plastic, and there are pieces that are plastic in there.

So the issues that you really have are, first of all, can it be kashered?

And second of all, how do you kasher it?

So in terms of can it be kashered, that's a major question about kashering plastic in general.

They say that Rabbi Henkin held, Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Henkin, not the Rabbi Henkin, not his grandson, his son-in-law,

Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Henkin held that plastic doesn't even require kashering because it's smooth and it doesn't absorb any tam.

That's false.

That's just not true.

Plastic does absorb tam, so l'chora would need to be kashered.

But there's a major discussion in the post-kim, can it be kashered or can it not be kashered?

Rav Waldenberg and Tzitz Ali Yezer, Chalik Dalitzim and Rav Adi Yosef and Chazon Avadia, Chalik Bez, allow kashering plastic for Pesach,
