1) The
utensils being koshered should be dry before being inserted into the
pot of boiling water. (See Mogen Avraham Siman 452:9)
2)
L'Chatchilah, the entire utensil should be submerged in the boiling
water at one time. (See Taz Orach Chaim 452:5, Shulchan Aruch
HaRav 452:26 and Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Siman 117:16)
However,
if only half [or part] of the utensil was submerged and the other half
[or rest] of it was submerged afterwards, it is acceptable as long as
every single part of the utensil, including the handles, covers etc. was
submerged in the boiling water. (Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim
Siman 451:14, 452:12 and Mishna Berura S"K 45 and 68. See also Shu"t
Minchas Yitzchak Vol. 5 Siman 81)

Although the answers I give to

own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
On Shabbos, is one allowed to construct temporary structures
with legos or Magnetic toys such as magnetic balls and sticks?
Answer:
Legos, or
similar toys, whose pieces are temporarily put together, and do not
involve screws or other similar fasteners that can be permanent, may be
played with on shabbos according to most contemporary poskim (including
Rav Chaim Pinchas scheinberg, Tzitz
Eliezer and others)
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 )
