Blech
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A blech (from Yiddish) is a sheet of metal used by many observant Jews to cover stovetop burners (and for some, the knobs/dials too) on Shabbat (The Jewish Sabbath), as part of the precautions taken to avoid violating the halakhic prohibition against cooking on the Sabbath by stirring the fire.
