The STAR-K mark is used as a symbol by STAR-K Kosher Certification (aka Vaad Hakashrus of Baltimore), one of the best-known kosher certifying agencies that supervises the production of kosher food to ensure that it is, in fact, kosher. (The organization also uses a Star-D symbol, to indicate that dairy products are kosher -- the different symbol is used to alert Jews to the fact that, while the product is kosher, it also contains dairy and, as such, must not be consumed by observant Jews within a certain time period of eating meat, as to do so is not kosher).
The organization also has relevance to appliances. The issues relative to appliances deal with the Orthodox Jew's restriction from doing some types of "work" on Sabbath and Jewish Holidays. The STAR-K evaulates the appliances, and describes how they may be used on the Sabbath and Jewish Holidays. If you have any further questions regarding appliance use on Sabbath and Jewish Holidays, check out http://www.star-k.com/cons-appl.htm for a complete listing of manufacturers whose appliances they certify and guidelines as to how to use them on Sabbath and Jewish Holidays.
This certification has nothing to do with the food being cooked on the appliances; i.e., it does not extend to certifying whether the appliance is being used for Kosher or non-Kosher food, only to its usage on Sabbath and Jewish Holidays.
