Here’s an idea- if you don’t eat gebrokts on Pesah, you could probably eat potato starch items or can even cook kitniyos on your Pesah pots and pans in the weeks leading to Pesah. I wouldn’t think people would think corn on the cob or dried untreated beans would be an issue for their pots and pans.
For those who eat matzah meal, their options are obviously far greater for this period of time.
