This guide explains how to handle these requests properly and professionally.
Why Guests Request Kitchen Kashering
Many religious guests prefer the kitchen to be freshly kashered, even if the apartment is already labeled as kosher.
Common situations include:
Pesach kitchen kashering
Between non-religious and religious guests
Olim moving into a non-kosher apartment
High-end or Mehadrin rental requirements
In popular rental areas such as Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, and other Israeli cities, this is a very regular request.
What Can Be Kashered in a Rental Kitchen
Professional kitchen kashering may include:
Stove and stovetop grates
Oven and internal surfaces
Kitchen sinks
Marble / granite / metal countertops
Other kitchen surfaces according to their material and the guest’s minhag
According to halachic sources, materials require different kashering methods such as hag’alah, libun, and iruy
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 451–452, Mishnah Berurah ad loc.).
How Hosts Should Handle Kashering Requests
As a property owner or manager, your role is simple:
1. Tell guests that professional kitchen kashering is available
2. Share the service provider’s contact details
3. Provide access to the apartment
4. Let the kashering team manage the process
You should not attempt to kasher the kitchen yourself.
