Hello My name is BenTzion Davis and I am an Electronic Engineering Technician in Borough Park, NY. 

  When I was going to college, I rented a basement apartment below a nice Rabbi and Rebbetzin. One Erev Shabbos afternoon the Rebbetzin asked if I could repair her Shabbos blech that had stopped working. I opened the blech and the inside was horrible. The heating element was just a thin live electric wire coil surrounded by ceramic insulators. The blech had been dropped on the counter like all blechs in time will, and one of the ceramic insulators had broken. This allowed the live wire coil to arc weld itself to the metal housing of the blech. This is an extreme fire and safety hazard. 

I have found by doing research that most all of the best selling Shabbos food warming plates are manufactured this way. Even the ones that advertise as Shabbos and Engineered in Israel. They have no internal components restricting the flow of electric current to the live electric wire coil. The electricity runs straight from your wall outlet into the coil and back again. Causing a large amperage draw from your household outlet. The internal wires begin to break down from the repetitive heating and cooling. They are not designed to be used like Jewish observance requires, 24 and sometimes 72 hours on a weekly basis all year long.  

Recently due to tragedies in the Orthodox Jewish world I was asked by several close friends, what my professional opinion was, as far as a safe blech to purchase. Some are better than others but I could not think of one that I would safely recommend. I sincerely do not recommend and I even discourage the most available best selling unit that you find in most all Jewish homes. 

I went to work right away designing a food warming plate with Orthodox Jewish Observance in mind. We do not use food warming plates like your common consumer, we need an affordable blech designed for repetitive continual long term use. I have I put a little of myself in the design of this unit, and I personally guarantee it's quality and functionality. May it be a Kidush "H" and may it save lives!

    2. At 250 Watts it will probably keep the food warm to just below hot. I do not believe that this appliance in no more than a food warmer. It will not get the foods hot, but may maintain the temperature on foods placed on the appliance hot. I would not expect that foods placed ont the appliance cold or warm to get hot.

  8. ETL is a testing lab as is UL and CSA. They all follow the same standards for testing requirements. The standards and testing is done to the extreme, meaning that it is test to points well beyond the manufacturers specifications. The Model TYCSS10 is by far the best built and safest hotplate on the market. The safety in use of this product can only be gaurented if used with safe devices [receptacles] and the building wiring installation meets the NEC [National Electric Code].

    The TechYidCo hotplate was purchased for R"H. The Ground fault triggered before the 2nd day and shut off the unit. The following Shabbos, the same happened by morning even though it was connected to a different house circuit. The following Shabbos it was connected to a 1500va UPS which registered no line faults, but the ground fault shut off the hotplate by midnight. Finding warranty info is difficult; the TechYidOc website sends you to the Kosher lamp site, and they indicate returns for warranty work has to be sent (my cost) to Toronto (I am in the US), and I must lie and say it is a sample or they will refuse delivery. Why bother catering to the frum community with such a policy? I've emailed to what appears to be their email address (headoffice@kosherlamp.com) but I don't know if that is TechYidCo's email address. It is probably a minor problem in the ground fault plug; I will update if there is any response.

    1. I agree with Martin Hoffmitz. This hot plate is the best and most sfe if connected building wiring that meets the NEC, National Electric Code. The connections to the receptacle or on the receptacle may be loose and will arc. Or the plug and receptacle connection is loose and will also arc.

      I am working on a fire restoration project now, The kitchen caught fire where the crock pot was plugged in. The kitchen was renovated less than a month before the fire. There were no electrical permits or inspections. The wiring was done by an unlicensed person. B"H no one was injured.

      I suggest that all receptacles be checked for voltage drops which would indicate a problem with the connections.

      Feel free to contact me for more information.

  14. Good Yom Tov. I ordered this bleach on Amazon Friday, and it arrived this morning, Sunday at 11:30am. I was praying it would be here by noon. We live too far from the Shut to walk. So we stay in a camper by the Shul, every Shabbos & Yom Tov. By, we have it in plenty of time. Being in a camper, I especially appreciate the care you put into the safety of this blech, and the low ampage. It is a Huge deal. Thank you, thank you so much.😁

  20. It's not as easy because food is not considered a drug, and the symptoms are less obvious (or more subtle). You would never be pulled over for eating while driving, or being in possession of a large amount junk food, so there are no external consequences for you to deal with if you are a food addict. No one will stop you from overeating; only you have the power to stop yourself. Substance addiction begins as a learning process for the brain. 토토먹튀사이트
