Product review (5 stars): the days of gunk filled cracks are over!
I am so happy with these! We bought a house and there is a small gap on either side of the stove, before the counters start. I got very stressed out when I would cook, or even prepare food in that area, because of course food/flour/etc. would inevitably fall in the cracks. I was always worried about getting nasty bugs since I am not great about pulling the stove out just to clean the sides.
I found these shields, and I'm very happy with them! They are silicone, so of course there are times where I'll set something down and then go to slide it and it won't move (due to the nature of silicone the shields are made of), but it isn't an annoyance to me. I'd much rather deal with that than crusty gunk in the cracks!
