<DIV>IIRC the Blumenkrantz Pesach book says you can kasher the grates of the
stovetop this way -- by putting them in the self-cleaning oven -- so it seems to
me you could do the same with a pot, but I will let the scholars here answer
that question.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However: be warned that if the pot has non-metal handles, they
will be turned into ashes snowing on the bottom of your oven. I found that
out by accident -- I didn't notice the pot hiding in the back of the oven before
I turned it on. Also, the incineration of the plastic releases malodorous
and possibly dangerous fumes. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PS In a Purim skit my husband once had people kashering paper plates with a
blowtorch. </DIV>
