1) Every kosher kitchen needs to have separate pots and pans for meat, dairy and parve use.
This includes the covers to the pots as well, which may not be interchanged.
It
is advisable that the meat, dairy and parve pots and pans and their
covers have distinct features to ensure that they aren't mixed up and
inadvertently used for the wrong food class.
2) There is a minhag amongst many Jews to retain separate pots for cooking fish (This is a Chumra (stringency) based on a minority ruling. See Tur Yoreh Deah Siman 116:2)

Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we
covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the
Q & A pages on the Halacha For Today website.
Although
the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei
HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes
only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
Is
it true that according to Kabbalah, the beds in one's room should face
a particular direction and if so, which direction would that be?
Answer:
Yes, a person's bed should ideally be positioned in the north-south position.
According to many rishonim this applies only to married men and only at times when together with their wives.
If this is not possible or practical, you
have on whom to rely and the bed may be positioned any direction, even
when husband and wife are together.
(See Talmud Brachos 5b and Rashi and Tosefos there and Rambam Hilchos Bais HaBechira Perek 7:9. See also Shulchan Aruch HaRav Siman 3:10)
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 )
