Halachos on this and other topics.
1)The
koshering pot which will be filled with water and brought to a boil and
in which utensils will be koshered must be absolutely clean and not be
used for 24 hours prior to the koshering.
There
is no difference if the pot that is used for koshering was previously
used for meat or for dairy.
2)
When koshering Chometz utensils for Pesach use in a Chometz pot it is
customary to first Kosher the pot (by filling it to the brim and boiling
it up until the water spills over onto the outer sides of the pot)
before placing any other utensils in it to be koshered. (See
Mishna Berura Siman 452:13 and Sha’ar HaTziyun 452:15)
If
the pot used to kosher the Chometz utensils is a Pesach pot, it is
customary to re-kosher the pot after all the utensils have been koshered
before using the pot for pesach. (See Mishna Berura 452:10)

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER
Reader Submitted Questions of interest
on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting
topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the
Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give to
questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren’t my
own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
Is a Katan (minor) allowed to
Toivel a Keli (immerse a utensil in the Mikvah)? If he did, is it
considered a valid Tevila?
Answer:
The consensus
of the Poskim seems to be that a Koton may indeed Toivel a Keili, and
even make a Bracha on the Tevila (if it is a keli that requires a
Bracha). The problem is, that he isn’t believed to tell us he did so!
So as long as a Godol
(adult) sees the Tevilah taking place, it is OK if the Katan did it.
Therefore, if a Katan toveled
a Kli that requires a Bracha, and nobody saw him do so, another Tevilah
(without a Bracha) is required.
If the Koton toveled a Kli
that does not require a bracha (porcelain, china etc.) some Poskim
maintain that in this case he can be believed (the reasons behind this
are too complex a sugya for this email). However, if possible it is best
to tovel even these Kelim again (without a Bracha of course)
Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us
תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל
יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות
אלא הלכות -
one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in
Olam Haba - the world to come. (:מגילה כ"ח )
