Stove Burner Covers

The most popular stove burner covers vary in shape, color and design for both electric and gas range stoves. The perfect burner cover set for you and your family will really depend on the decor of your home and kitchen as well as the type and physical dimensions of each specific stove top. The great thing about these kitchen stove accessories is that they are relatively inexpensive, but provide many benefits to your home's cooking and food preparation area.

Choosing a burner cover set usually starts with the type of stove your have in your kitchen. Most conventional cooktop ranges will be powered by gas or electric. Square covers are usually best for gas stoves while round burner covers fit electric stovetops better. But, as long as the dimensions, particularly the depth measurement works for your situation, then you can choose either. There are extra deep versions in the rectangular shape. These rectangle covers are great for both types of stoves. There are even one piece countertop burner cover products that cover the whole top surface of the stove. Some brands to start your search should include Range Kleen and Reston Lloyd. This will give you an idea of dimensions and relative prices for a set of 2 or 4 covers.

The material of the cover sets is another preference that can be chosen as well. Most of the ones seen online are made of thin metal or tin. For those that want something thicker or just a different material altogether, there are a few options. For those that want to stick with metal covers, then stainless steel, copper and cast iron should be considered. Other types include ceramic, porcelain and enamel. These can become quite expensive as they are made more for decorative purposes. A set like these can be brought out on special occasions like Christmas or Thanksgiving. Brands like Corelle and Pfaltzgraff have a variety of high end ones to choose from.

Color, graphics and designs are more ways to get burner covers that will match your kitchen and really show your personality and style. Some modern homes are better suited with solid colors like black, white and even bright colors like red. For those that go with a metal or stainless steel set, then the material becomes the finish color. This goes for the dual or double, extra deep sets as well.

For those that have a certain look, feel or theme to their home, there are plenty of designs to choose from. These include food themes like pictures of chefs, grapes & wine, and fruit like apples and grapes. If you live in the country, farm or just love the peacefulness of those places, then barnyard scenes, animals and other serene outdoor graphics can be found like roosters, pigs, and even sunflower plants. These decorative styles can even be hand-painted on a set of porcelain or ceramic stovetop covers.
