Pesach Questions

I see the way you have listed how to kasher drinking glasses for pesach is as follows: "Drinking glasses that were never used with hot liquids at all simply need to be carefully washed for Pesach use, though the prevalent custom is to use the filling/soaking method anyway." But what if the glasses were washed in a dishwasher - which gets very hot? Or what if the glasses were used for hot things? I usually fill/soak but I just realized that I sometimes use a glass to heat up milk in the microwave to use in my coffee...can I not use them for Pesach?

 

If the glass was used as a kli rishon, meaning microwaved with milk in it, then it cannot be kashered for Pesach. If it is unclear which of your glasses were used in this way as a kli rishon, then you would not kasher any of them. If your glasses had something hot poured into them, meaning irui kli rishon, then filling/soaking method suffices.

Drinking glasses that are used exclusively for cold liquids may be kashered for Pesach with milui veirui (filling and soaking) even if they have been washed in the dishwasher. Several factors contribute to our being able to treat this case leniently, among them that the soap effectively nullifies the residual food in the dishwasher, and that you will in any case only be using the glasses for cold liquids during Pesach.
