Would you avoid buying because you are nervous that who knows who with who knows what chametz on their hands touched it? Then again, do we know what happened in the factories with the stuff that are packaged? What do you think?

What's the difference between buying it for Pesach or for the year? Buy it and kasher it.

but what about things that u can't kasher. like a spatula. and for during the year- do you kasher everything you buy? i sure don't! as long as it wasn't used, i just toivel whatever needs to be toiveled.

never thought about those things before Realeez... i really dunno!

OK, for stuff I can't kasher I wouldn't buy it. And yes, most of the stuff I buy for during the year gets bought Pesach time too and DH kashers and tovels it all at the same time as he does the Pesach stuff.

I never thought of that. Our pots are coming from a sealed box and we will be using all plastics for our fine dinery :D. We are so high class.

We use plastics, too. It beats having to wash dishes after the seder or wake up to dirty dishes the next morning. And it helped when the kids were little. We didn't have to worry about them making gebrokts with the cutlery.

Ask your own shaila, but as it was taught to me, anything purchased BEFORE pesach, the chometz is batul. We don't hold of "bitul chometz" only on the days of pesach itself. Once you say "kol chamira", it's as if it doesn't exist.

Thinking about it, I once heard a psak that even something that had been out amongst the chametz stuff, but that was definitely not used (it was a gift item that had not even been toiveled, just sat on the table) was OK for pesach use - just to rinse it off in cold water, and toivel.
But, I know that people are very careful with chumros Pesach, and this may have been a particularly lenient psak.
I think those who are worried about open-stock dishes are concerned about it from a general kashrus angle, and I know there are some groups that kasher even year round. Doesn't help that so many non-kasherables aren't necessarily available in a closed box.
