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

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)[reply]

Sabbath Mode

Hi all, I got to this page from hot 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 mode does 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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfhound668 (talkcontribs) 13:19, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, A blech has nothing to do with Sabbath mode. The latter refers to a switch that makes an electrical device operable on Shabbat; a blech is a metal piece that covers a lit stovetop in accordance with rules set out in the Talmud. 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.
