Talk:Blech

Sabbath Mode

Hi all, I got to this page fromhot plate,never hearing of a blech before. While reading through this page I started wondering if "Sabbath mode" that I've seen on some modern stoves was created to be a modern equivalent to a Blech.Sabbath modedoes link back to Blech as a see also so maybe someone with more knowledge of the subject might write up a couple of sentences about Sabbath mode and link back to that page.—Precedingunsignedcomment added byWolfhound668(talk•contribs)13:19, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, A blech has nothing to do withSabbath mode.The latter refers to a switch that makes an electrical device operable onShabbat;a blech is a metal piece that covers a lit stovetop in accordance with rules set out in theTalmud.A blech has a much longer history than Sabbath mode, and this article really needs to be expanded with more sources than a to-do list to help people understand it.Yoninah(talk)20:49, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Comment

It should be noted that "blech" is a common English word meaning "disgust."134.50.203.20(talk)22:41, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

If it should be noted at all, it should be noted on the (already existing) disambiguation page for "blech" and not here. Unless, of course, there is another, less acceptable, point you are trying to make.Gsshatan(talk)15:25, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Is this the etymology of the English word?172.58.145.152(talk)23:18, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Fire safety section

It is not clear why this paragraph, aside from the sentence about burners being left on, was moved to this article. Most of the conflagrations mentioned were caused by malfunctioning hot plates, not blechs. A smoke detector will do nothing to diagnose gas escaping from a blown-out burner.Yoninah(talk)18:03, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
