10. Kashering

Stove: can be kashered"Kashering" means making something kosher, such tools, appliances, surfaces, and utensils. It might be possible to make your own cooking appliances or dishes kosher, even just temporarily. Different items are made kosher in different ways. Some dishes can be made kosher by boiling them. The burners of certain stoves can be made kosher simply by turning them on. Some ovens can be made kosher by putting them through a self-cleaning cycle. All of these things might give you more options to work with for serving guests. Note that you will need to ask your guests what they feel needs to be done to make a certain thing kosher, and they might want to be present for the process. Also note that the process might require that the item is first thoroughly cleaned and unused for 24 hours before it can be made kosher.

If making your oven kosher does not seem like a viable option, it still might be possible to use it to cook, if the food is double-wrapped. If you get a disposable baking pan and aluminum foil, it may be possible to make more elaborate dishes such as chicken or lasagna, even in a non-kosher oven.
