Embodiments described herein are directed to an apparatus for retaining heat dissipated from an oven. The apparatus may comprise a sheet material sized to cover a portion of a front of the oven and at least one attachment connected to the sheet material. The sheet material may comprise an absorbent fabric for retaining a heat-absorbing compound. The at least one attachment may be configured to hold one side of the sheet material substantially flush against the front of the oven after the sheet material has retained the heat absorbing compound.

A cooktop appliance or electric resistance heating coil assembly, as provided herein, may include a shroud cover, a thermostat, and a heat transfer disk. The shroud cover may define an axial hole. The thermostat may be positioned radially inward from the shroud cover. A continuous circumferential thermal break may be defined as a radial gap within the axial hole between the thermostat and the shroud cover. The heat transfer disk may be attached to the thermostat at the distal end of the thermostat and extend radially outward above the shroud cover.

A fire shield assembly includes a housing that may be mounted to a vertical support surface. A shield is movably coupled to the housing and the shield may be manipulated. The shield is selectively deployed from the housing. Thus, the shield may extend between a stove and the vertical support surface. The shield is comprised of a heat resistant material. Thus, the shield may inhibit the stove from heating the vertical support surface thereby reducing a fire hazard with respect to the stove.

An oven appliance or door assembly may include an inner liner and a rigid exterior panel. The inner liner may be received within a front opening of a cooking chamber of the oven appliance. The rigid exterior panel may extend along a vertical direction between a top lip and a bottom lip. The bottom lip may include a base rim and a blocking panel. The base rim may extend along a lateral direction and a transverse direction beneath the rigid exterior panel. The blocking panel may extend downward from the base rim to restrict access to a portion of the cooking appliance below the cooking chamber.

A hand protecting cavity ventilation system for an oven is provided. The system includes an air duct, positioned at a top of a cavity of the oven, the air duct having a duct outlet aimed toward a door to the cavity to provide an airflow along an inner surface of the door. The air duct extends downward from the ceiling of the cavity in front of and below a heating element disposed below the ceiling of the cavity. The air duct forms a vertically displaced hand protection portion to act as a barrier in front of the heating element, thereby guarding the heating element when the door of the oven is opened.

A cavity (4) for a cooking appliance (2), in particular an oven cavity (4) for a domestic oven, comprising at least one cavity wall (8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) defining a cooking chamber (6) for cooking foodstuff and having an inner surface (10) facing towards the cooking chamber (6), a central opening for placing foodstuff into the cooking chamber (6), wherein the inner surface (10) is at least partially provided with a non-stick and/or non-wetting coating (16) comprising at least a first layer (18), wherein the first layer (18) is obtained by a sol-gel process from a first composition comprising a silica sol and a silane and/or wherein the cavity (4) further comprises a heat reflection shield system (26) having at least one heat reflection shield (28) to reduce the heat radiation produced by heating elements (30) being arranged within the cavity (4) against the non-stick and/or non-wetting coating (16). A cooking appliance (2), in particular a domestic oven comprising such a cavity (4) and a method for manufacturing such a cavity (4).

A table accessory for use with a fire pit. The table accessory may be supported by a fire pit for use as a table, for supporting a storage cover, or, when the fire pit is in use, may be moved below the fire pit for use as a heat shield. A plurality of accessory legs extend from the lower surface of the body. The terminal ends of the accessory legs are configured to be received on a top panel of the fire pit. A fire pit stand has a plurality of fire pit legs for supporting the fire pit. The fire pit legs define a fire pit leg height. The height of the table accessory is less than the fire pit leg height for facilitating locating the table accessory under the fire pit chamber of the fire pit for use of the table accessory as a heat shield.
