Reply To: How to kasher sinks for Pesach

I appreciate the explanation. I am very relieved. I am not a posek or rav, just a Bal Habayis. And YWN is not a Halacha Sefer. So I still don’t know whether there is any source to be machmir or not, but at least now I don’t feel bad about all of the past years that I just did Irui from a Kli Rishon. (Maybe there is a shita that argues against the whole method of Hagalah using just Irui?)

Although it is important to know and understand the sources of Kulos and Chumros, it is wrong to call a chumra a fool. Just look at the Shulchan Aruch, Remah, and Mishnah Berurah. I just learned through about half of M”B Chelek 5, and in some places there are indeed chumros on top of chumros for even a slight Chashash. And then in other places he says that it is only a minor chashash anyway, so you could be someich on bitul or Rov or something similar. The inconsistency and confusion had my head spinning.
