The Blech Book
Comprehensive & Illustrated Guide To Hotplate Use
Overall, the number of guidelines governing cooking on the Jewish Sabbath is quite substantial. The laws of blechs and Shabbos hotplates—based in Talmud, codifiers and custom—are no exception. Translating them into practical daily application in the modern kitchen requires awareness of many details. Even the otherwise knowledgeable public might not always be aware of all the fine points. Particularly, since until now, searching for these laws required extracting them from books on general Sabbath observance.
Dozens of professional photos help express the most complex legal issues in plain easy-to-understand form.
"It is refreshing to see the comprehensive, yet user friendly style, of your previous books repeated here in this one. The photos only add a greater dimension of clarity to the entire work."
— Rabbi Y. Gurary, member of Rabbinical Court
