Oh wow I see, thanks, just Googled. For anyone else wondering, it depends, but you need to e.g. heat the utensil to get it red hot!

- ars 7y agoA brand new utensil is assumed to be kosher, since it's unlikely a factory is going to have food in it that would contact the utensils. Also, a utensil is koshered by the same heat-level that made it non-kosher. So if used on a fire, it's koshered on a fire. If used only in hot water, then it's koshered in hot water. It can get more complicated: Some things (like plastic, or wood) can never be koshered (except by removing a layer from the surface, for example by sanding) because they absorb too easily. Red hot heat can kosher anything, but those substances can not withstand the necessary temperature. Glass is interesting as it's considered impervious, and some hold that simply washing it is enough because nothing absorbs into glass.
