Tin Foil Tip

Do you rent your humble abode? This is a quick tip that I needed reminded of when I first moved into this apartment which has an electric stove. Use aluminum foil to protect the stove bibs. Last winter I was at a friend's place and this simple and brilliant idea jumped right out at me. (bright new shiny foil sheened from his stove) Duh! Why hadn't I remembered to do that. Totally saves you from buying replacement pans which are getting more and more pricy. It's so simple to accomplish and you can replace them as often as you'd like for pennies!

Fresh stove bib.
ummm.. someone might have boiled over a pot and ruined the pre-exsisting foil bib cover. (hehe.. uh that would be ME!)

Tear enough tin foil to cover your stove bib.  Tear a hole in the location where the prongs are going to plug in. Wrap all the foil tightly around the underside of the bib. Tear off any extra.

Oops.. a little tear. I bought cheap aluminum foil last time. I now realize why I like Reynolds Wrap so much better. :)
I'll let you know how fixing it with transparent tape works. ;-)

Viola!
