Moving a Pot on a "Blech" on Shabbat - Ish Tsadik
Question:
Is it permitted to move a pot placed on the metal sheet (Blech) covering the flame so that the pot is positioned directly over the flame itself?
Answer

It is permitted, as the entire sheet is considered to be “over the fire.” This is according to the ruling of the Igrot Moshe (Vol. 1, Siman 61), Rabbi Elyashiv (Shevut Yitzchak), and the lenient considerations arising from Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach’s discussion on the subject (Minchat Shlomo Vol. 2, Siman 34).
