I have a very old stove and cannot find pan support that is compatible with my model.

any ideas what I could get for pan support that would fit any stove?

I think it’s called grates. Good luck finding them, I don’t know where they sell universal ones.

Yes, I was just going to say search for stove grates and you might have better luck.

Grates. There cant be universal as there are so many different ovens out there.
Why not contact the oven company and see if your grates are still made.

Can you kasher the ones you have?

I measured the length and width and then found the closest match on amazon. It's not perfect but it works.

my stove goes round at one of the edges.

I cannot find such a one,

they are all rectangle without a curve so its not possible to fit.

I ordered one but had to send it back.

did you measure the actual grid or the space where it fits in?

I measured both space and the grates. But I have a regular shaped stove top, so rectangle was okay. Do you have a 4 ring stove top? You could maybe only get 1 rectangle for the non rounded corner, and then a single grate or something for the rounded edge. You may be able to get one that is too short and will fit before the edge.
Equally, you could kasher your regular grates.

Can you get a round grate for that corner? It will probably be smaller to fit but that should be fine.

I just spoke to a rov tonight about kashering and he gave me clear instructions.

Just wondering I havent heard of a lot of ppl who do this.

I remember last year making a note to buy new grates but kashering sounds so much easier.

I was should clean and cover with silverfoil but does silver foil def not catch fire?

has there never been such a thing that a silverfoil or foil candleholder catches fire?

You don't cover it in silver foil, as the open grates allow the fire to breathe and locking it in with foil can cause something very dangerous C"V.
You place the clean grates in a clean oven at highest temp for 40 minutes in order to accomplish libbun kal and then they are kashered and ready for pesach.

I grew up in England calling them grates. Or occasionally the hob.
I never heard of pan supports.

I found it easier buying new grates that I keep for pesach. All I have to do is switch the grates and I can start cooking. Much faster and easier than having to kasher them.
