Pesach Kashering 5780

Kashering small metal items, ie silverware, kiddush cups, small metal utensils used with liquids

1. Utensils must be first cleaned and left unused for 24 hours.
2. After 24 hours, immerse utensils into a pot of boiling water that is
   on the fire.
   • The pot can be non-Passover, provided it is clean and has not been used for 24 hours, 
   • Small utensils should be immersed one at a time.
   • Larger items can be submerged in the water one part at a time.
3. Allow the water to return to a boil before the next item is placed in the pot.
4. Rinse utensils in cold water after the immersion.

If the pot to be koshered is too big to submerge in another pot
Fill it with water to the very top. Boil the water. Heat a large stone or other piece of metal. Using a pair of tongs, throw the heated stone or metal into the pot causing the water to overflow the top of the pot. This will kosher the top rim of the pot - the outside walls of the pot do not need to be koshered.
Please take care not to burn yourself. Pour out the water and rinse the pot with cold water. 

Drinking Glasses
Drinking glasses not used for hot or in contact with hot chametz (ie not washed in dishwasher etc): This is accomplished by submerging the glasses for 24 hours. The water should then be poured out and replenished and let sit for another 24 hours. This procedure should be repeated a third time, for a total of 72 hours.
​​​​​​​This procedure of submerging cannot be used for Pyrex or glass that was used directly on the fire or in the oven.
