Tevilas Keilim

In a kosher kitchen, many types of dishes and utensils must be immersed in a mikvah before they may be used. Tevilas Keilim is independent from Kashering. The basic difference between the two is that Kashering refers to various methods of extracting or burning absorbed substances, while Tevilas Keilim is a ritual of sanctifying the utensil. We have compiled a list of common items and indicated which ones do or do not need Tevilas Keilim and if a bracha is required when they do.

NOTE: Most regular items can be immersed without ruining them. The water should be shaken out, and one can use a ladies blow dryer to dry the inside. If one is scared that it will still get ruined, or it has a digital panel, he should give it to a non-Jew to lift up and take possession and then borrow it from him.
