Pesach on the Web
The guide includes information about products, kashering methods, medications and an interesting article highlighting the importance of Hudson, Kansas in the global kashrut industry.
A detailed list of different types of countertops and how to kasher those that can be kashered.
Note: It is always acceptable to clean and cover your countertop rather than trying to kasher it.
