At the suggestion of one of the areivim moderators I am posting this

I really do not know about kashering meat, but there are mitzvos that 
one does not make a bracha on. Tzadakah is one comes to 
mind.  Hachnosos Orchim is another mitzva that one does not make a 
bracha on. I am sure that there are others that people can come up with.

Indeed, I would be interested in a list of mitzvos that have no 
bracha associated with them.

Settling in EY is a mitzva. Is there a bracha one makes? I really do not know.

Is repairing the parshios in tefillin or a mezuzah a mitzva? I have 
seen my sofer do this without making a bracha.  He does say something 
like L'shem mitzvos tefillin when he repairs a broken letter.
