Embodiments of a griddle of the type for an outdoor cooking station is provided herein. The griddle includes a flat cooking surface with a splash guard extending along a periphery of the flat cooking surface. The flat cooking surface defines a trough positioned adjacent a rear end of the cooking surface such that the trough includes a sloping surface extending downward toward a rear opening defined in the splash guard along and adjacent the rear end of the flat cooking surface. With this arrangement, as a user cooks food on the griddle, unwanted grease may be pushed to the rear of the griddle and into the trough so that the grease funnels down the sloped surface and through the rear opening and into a grease container centered below the rear opening.

The retractable stovetop shielding screen is a wire mesh screen that may be deployed from an above-stove support such as a range hood or microwave oven to prevent children and pets from contacting the stovetop. The screen mounts to the front of the above-stove support using a pair of L-shaped mounting brackets. When not deployed, a spring loaded roller retracts the screen to a position above the stovetop. The screen is deployed by pulling a grip and the screen unwinds from the roller, stretching between the roller and the handle of the oven door below. The screen removably couples to the oven door handle using a loop kept closed by hook and loop fasteners. The screen is non-opaque, allowing items on the stovetop to be seen even when the screen is deployed.

A splatter shield including a central panel, two extension panels, and two end panels, the extension panels being selectively movable to increase or decrease the length of the central panel, one end of each extension panel including a 90 flange member having at least one slot extending therethrough, one end of each of end panel including at least one curved member configured so as to be received by the at least one slot associated with the 90 flange members for selectively positioning the end panels at a plurality of different angular orientations to accommodate different work areas. The end panels are further movable to a position wherein they can be disengaged from the extension panels and the extension panels can be removed from the central panel. The present splatter shield can also be utilized without the extension panels, the 90 flange members being associated with the central panel.

A pad with a fiber reinforced silicone rubber material wherein the fiber reinforcement is of a weight of at least 100 grams per square meter, the pad having a thickness over a majority of the pad's surface area which between 0.5 and 4 millimeters thick wherein the pad is flexible and impervious to fluid and has sufficient surface tack to inhibit objects from sliding off the pad. The pad does not include metallic materials. The pad is manufactured by: providing a fiber reinforcement sheet and applying silicone to said fiber reinforcement sheet; curing the fiber reinforcement sheet with applied silicone to create a fiber reinforced silicone sheet which is impervious to fluid; cutting said fiber reinforced silicone sheet in a rectilinear pattern sized based on known cooktop dimensions; printing said fiber reinforced silicone sheet with an ink of a first color.
