Question
Why are pieces placed before the inspection?
Answer
In our times, when the house is thoroughly cleaned, if pieces are not placed, the blessing recited over the inspection of chametz would be in vain, and therefore it is necessary to place the pieces before the inspection. According to Kabbalah, one should place 10 pieces. The pieces that are placed should be less than a kezayit, but it is advisable for one piece to be the size of a kezayit, and it is important to remember well where they were placed. Therefore, some write down the location of the pieces to avoid forgetting where they were placed.
