Nordic Ware Basting Cover

Nordic Ware Basting Cover

The delicate dance of melting cheese on top of a hamburger on the grill can sometimes get messy. Messy in a good way. Except when the cheese doesn’t melt all the way through turning instead into a semi-solid glob of yellow-orange not-so-goodness. One could leave the cheeseburger on for longer, but not without risking it becoming overdone. Ah, but there is a solution to get all that melty goodness without turning that burger into a hockey puck. Put a lid on it.

Since it is probably a good idea to use something that can stand up to the heat of an open flame, the all-metal construction of the Nordic Ware Basting Cover would do the trick. Or you can do it like they do down in the French Quarter of New Orleans and use a hub cap instead. But then again, considering the price of car parts in general, perhaps this would be a more economical way to melt the cheese — leaving lots of money leftover to replenish the hockey puck supply with the real thing.

Give Your Stove That Old-Timey Look

VINTAGE EMBOSSED METAL BURNER COVERS - SILVER (SET OF 2) METAL BURNER

Kitchen countertops have a tendency to become cluttered quite quickly. Not only are they used for all manner of kitchen appliances and gadgets, but also as a work area to actually prepare meals. Often the flurry of prep work takes us to a point where we gaze longingly at the stove, not because of the food it may soon deliver, but because of all that unused space. Usually it’s a bad idea to go stacking things on the stovetop, but with this set of two Vintage Embossed Silver Metal Burner Covers the stovetop can be transformed into a nice flat surface, perfect for working with teacakes and mincemeat pies.

Turns out these things are also found under the name ‘burner kovers.’ So, while not exactly the same, these Range Kleen 5058 Burner Kovers Round Ivy Embossed Silver might help as a starting point to those is search of burner covers, err… kovers. (Also available in white.)

Above is a round set of four, so for those looking for a set of two metal rectangular burner covers (or kovers, whatever…) this DECORATIVE WOOD-TONE METAL BURNER COVERS – OAK (SET OF 2) still fits the bill. And the stovetop. No matter how you spell it.

Happy hunting!
