Gap Stopper® Pro - 21" Black Silicone Stove Gap Cover, Professional Grade, FDA Approved Heavy Duty 8.6 oz, Set of 2 - Perfect for Kitchen Safety, Preventing Food & Debris from Falling Between Stove and Countertops

Review for the 'Original Gap Stopper Black, Professional Grade, FDA Heavy 7.2 oz Silicone, Set of 2, Covers Gap between Stove & Countertop, Black". We bought a new stove and when we took our old one out the mess that had gotten down in the cracks between the old stove and the cabinets was sickening. I had seen solid metal gap stoppers and went searching on Amazon. When I saw these silicone ones it caught my eye, and after reading several reviews I was impressed. However, I was worried because mine is a gas stove with some pretty high output burners and I didn't know if the heat when bringing a large pot to boil or cooking down a large pot of stew for long periods of time might actually burn or melt these. My wife likes to can and we have done both of the above since getting these and there have been no problems. I could ship these off to you and you wouldn't know they were not brand new. I have not pulled the stove out to see how much crud is getting down between the stove and the countertops, but I can't imagine that there has been hardly any at all as this provide a nice cover with no gaps. I was concerned about the length, but the manufacturer has obviously done their homework as they turned out to be the perfect length to fill the entire gap from the back of the stove to the edge of the countertop. They are very easily picked up to clean if you want, or you can just leave them in place and wipe them down. I could not be more satisfied and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking whether they are using gas or electric. Obviously I have not tried them on an electric glass stop stove, but I would not hesitate to and I'm certain they would work very nicely on an induction cooktop as well. You would certainly want to adjust the height of your stove to match as closely as possible to that of your countertop.
