20090064990 | Range roll pliable, heat-resistant silicone stovetop cover for smooth cooktop stoves and ranges - The Range Roll is an innovative, versatile smooth surface range cover made of pliable, colorful, heat-resistant silicone designed to protect the surface of smooth glass or ceramic cook top ranges or stoves from cracks, scratches, chips and breaks caused by falling objects such as pots, dishes, groceries, cans, or any heavy or ridged item that could damage the cook-top surface. The Range Roll helps provide counter top continuity when applied to the surface of the cook-top and can be used in other capacities around the kitchen or hobby area as a protective work surface. The heat resistance feature of silicone up to 600-700 degrees is particularly key, in that it will not burn in the event a cook-top burner is left on or is inadvertently turned on while the cover is in place. This provides protection from being burned or starting a fire. | 03-12-2009 |
