A cooking apparatus including a plurality of physically separated glasses and a coupling member coupling the plurality of glasses. The cooking apparatus includes a first glass forming a first region, a second glass forming a second region separated from the first region, and the coupling member configured to couple the first glass and the second glass. Where the coupling member includes an upper flange configured to cover a portion of an upper surface of the first glass and a portion of an upper surface of the second glass to divide the first region and the second region, a lower flange configured to support a portion of a lower surface of the first glass and a portion of a lower surface of the second glass, and a column configured to connect the upper flange and the lower flange.

A cooking appliance includes a body having a cooking chamber, a door rotatably connected to the body, hinge mechanisms that rotatably connect the door to the body, a control device disposed at the door, and a wire connected to the control device. The door includes a front panel that seats the control device, an intermediate panel spaced apart from the front panel and disposed rearward of the front panel toward the cooking chamber, a rear panel spaced apart from the intermediate panel and disposed rearward of the intermediate panel toward the cooking chamber, a pair of side frames disposed at both lateral sides of the intermediate panel and disposed vertically below the control device, and a lower frame configured to support the intermediate panel and the rear panel. At least one of the side frames includes a wire guide configured to guide the wire to the control device.

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 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.
