Be careful!

Friends,

For those who are kashering their homes, please be extremely careful when using a blow torch, and only do so with someone else present.  In addition, when covering oven walls and doors, and certainly when self-cleaning an oven, do NOT block or cover the vents, as this is a fire hazard and may damage your oven.

Thank you.

Quinoa Update

Quinoa: There is a difference of opinion regarding the status of quinoa. All agree that it's not chometz, but some consider it Kitniyos. After consultation with gedolei Torah, it appears safe to conclude that quinoa is not kitniyos, and therefore is acceptable for Pesach.
 
The CRC adds the following cautionary note:
There is, however, concern that some companies that pack quinoa also may pack other products that may be kitniyos or even chometz. Therefore, it is recommended that it only be purchased from a company that only packs quinoa. Ancient Harvest brand from Gardena, California, which also packs the Trader Joe's brand bearing the Half Moon - K, only deals with pure quinoa, however, only the "whole grain" quinoa, both the regular and red variety, may be used. Other products such as quinoa pasta and flour should not be used for Passover.
