I was saying more that I don't understand why we require a blech. (As
opposed to a declaration.) Given that pre-modern poseqim write, as RZS
said, that it's either or, why does the SSK and R' Eider require covering
the controls when one can't see a flame? Shouldn't the crockpot hiding
from me the glow of its coils, or the induction plate avoiding glow
altogether, be just as good as if there was a flame and I covered it
and NOT the controls?

:-)BBii!
