Gap Between Cooker & Worktop

Hey all,

Just like the penny that ALWAYS rolls under the furniture I seem to have a problem with food making a dash for the side of my cooker where there is a small gap. Do any of you have this problem? or possibly have any solutions to it?

Things to keep in mind:I don't want to replace the cooker or the worktops.

I don't want to buy a new house (I posted this on another forum and that is what they suggested) I'm not that great at DIY so hopefully something that isn't too complex lol

Many thanks,

    Hmm would it work to place some sort of chopping board type on the worktop but pushed to the edge of cooker when cooking. Even one of those flat metal baking trays if you're worried anything else might scorch. Just remember it might get hot! Or depending on the type of hob foil across or even a U shaped piece of foi fed to nto the gap on the floor so it simply pulls out with the gathered spilt food on then replace with a clean piece. They are the only ideas I have come up with so far.

    Moving house does seem a bit extreme I agree lol.

    I had this problem when I moved home. We ended up moving the worktop and units closer to the cooker (detaching from the wall and reattaching closer to the cooker) - there was about a 4inch gap before doing this! We also made a shelf unit from MDF to go on the end of the units so you couldn't tell that they had been moved along.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I currently use a chopping board (great minds think alike lol) to stop any food going down the sides. Looking for a more lasting solution now. I thought about DIY wood and making something to put in there, but I am awful when it comes to DIY. I did however stumble across some silicone gap covers:

    Think I am just going to order these. Thanks!

    You're not the only one with a suspicious mind... my thoughts exactly! Apologies to the OP if they genuinely joined a wedding planning forum to ask about the gap between their cooker and worktop....?
