Anybody not eat gebroks on the last day of pesach?

Asking as I had company who didnt eat gebroks-even on acharon shel pesach. Never heard of this before and wondering how common it is.

My inlaws don't! They say that you need to leave dishes for a year if they're exposed to gebroks before you can use them again, and from the last day of pesach to the first day the next year is less than a full year. (Not sure how this explanation works for a leap year, but whatever...)

That doesnt explain this case, as they are not makpid on keilim. If a pan was used to make gebroks, I was able to use the same one to make non-gebroks and they had no problem with it.

Interesting. According to my understanding of what my fil said, the last day of pesach is a safek of yom tov, so people who are makpid on gebroks will not be to show that it's a safe yom tov and to show that gebroks is really not chometz. However, they have this keilim issue, so they don't do it.

by many chassidim, the'rs an inyan to davka eat gebrochts on the 8th day to illustrate that it's chumra and not halacha - so much so that in EY we draw out our moshiach seuda until past tzais specifically in order to "brock" before benching and havdala.

We don't.

But our last day of Pesach is the 7th day.

Did you brok on Shabbos this year?

Don't Litvaks brok?

if you are worried about the pots, you could set aside one pot (to make matza balls for example) and make sure that pot does not get used again untill the middle of pesach. And use disposables to eat from.

Yes - my parents don't.

They are nadvorna, and that is one of the chassidusen that don't. I'm not sure which other ones don't as well.
