# 1043 If the Glove Fits
Question
If I use plastic gloves for holding on to the pots and cutlery being kashered for Pesach use in a large pot with boiling water, do the gloves become non kosher? Do I have to get new ones for every use, since plastic can’t be kashered?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Millers Shlita opinion is that you can use gloves or thongs to immerse utensils to be kashered, again and again without changing them, since this is a not “Ben Yomo” and a “Nat Bar Nat” case. (the chametz utensil has not been used for twenty four hours and only the prohibited embedded flavor on the utensil remains, were transferred twice.)
