Skewers and barbecue grills that are generally not used with liquid need to be kashered by doing libun. This is done by applying a heat source directly onto them until sparks are created. Lekatchila hag'alah doesn't work for these kinds of items. However if one did hag'alah they can still be used on Pesah. If one does not know for sure that he put hametz onto them he still needs to kasher them but lekatchila he can do hag'alah.  An oven may be kashered by cleaning it out well and leaving it on the highest temperature for an hour or so. A dishwasher may be kashered by cleaning it out well and running it empty with soap. The stovetop grates can be kashered by cleaning them well and dipping them in boiling hot water (in a kli rishon). A plata (hot plate) can be kashered by cleaning it well and pouring boiling hot water onto them from a kli rishon.
