Could I use on top of countertop oven that gets very hot to avoid accidental burns? Would the heat transfer? What is the spacing between the feet?

I use it n top of a glass top stove, but haven't used directly after burners are off yet. The feet are silicone, though, so they are heat resistant. The feet are 8 inches apart (width) and 16 1/2 inches apart (length). Hope this helps.

not sure if how much heat the feet could take,I've used mine when the burners are off. My stove is glass-top, and the feet are 8" width and 16 1/2' length.

I do not believe this is safe to use on a very hot surface. this is just a cover to put over burners when NOT in use.

Its made of glass and constant heat would make it hot and burn you. You can put it on top as top surface cools. Between the feet its 8" wide x 17" long x 1-3/4" high. It's great for putting hot foods that are ready off the stove to be dished out.

It can be used on the stove top but the three legs make it a little less effective. If you have a gas range the legs will fit down between the grates. On an electric top it would probably be best to have a Dutch oven with out legs. The one with legs is called a Camp Dutch oven. It works well in an oven because the legs fit in the shelf of the oven. My son does this all of the time. Stove top no.

Personally i wouldn't as it was designed for countertop use. It has vents on the back side and a fan on the bottom. The unit will overheat if constricted.

We have a gas oven, and use it on the lowest rack. I think they don't want you to put it on the floor of the oven so that it doesn't block the natural convection currents in the oven. You may get uneven heating if you do that.

The User Guide states at least 4 inches on all sides, but I typically have it just an inch or so from the wall (back of the oven). The sides and top are well over 6 inches away from walls and overhead cabinets. The outside of the oven gets fairly warm, so common sense dictates keeping flammable/meltable items away from the sides and top of the oven.

I never tried it but I cannot see why not. You would probably have to place it over two burners to maintain proper heat. If it could go in the oven and take high temperatures at the bake or broil setting, I see no reason why it can't take any stovetop temperature. Hope this helps.

the heat can be very hot if you give the oven direct touches after baking. i suggest waiting a few minutes. always remember to unplug!!

It will be fine above a built in oven as long as you have roughly 4 inches clearance below the top of the counter as this device sets in to the counter. It is a good stove top for the money.

I believe this item is designed to only go in the oven on a baking sheet. I think direct heat on a burner may melt it.

The top gets hot so you don't want it too close to something flammable or meltable. You definitely need some room for circulation. I use the top to defrost the sauce packets for orange chicken.

Ann, I wouldn't because it's heavy plastic material. It's durable and won't scratch glass/ceramic cook-tops but it would melt if put on a hot stove or one that hasn't cooled off enough. If your concern is about protecting your cat from jumping hot stove, I recommend that you place a pan of water on the burner that was turned off. That way the burner is covered, nothing will burn. When it's cooled, then place counter top on stove. Hope this helps.

I am not sure if you mean cooking on it, which is not possible since it is foam on the back or if you mean the temperature of the hot pan it will protect a counter. If the latter, Last week I pulled a broiler pan out and for lack of a better space, put it on the pad on top of a butcher block. We kept checking and did not burn through but it was only a few minutes.

This is a tall unit. You will have to be careful where you use it lest you melt your ceiling. This oven is awesome, though. The sides don't get all that hot, but the burners, if set on the counter, will be near to ceiling. Just be aware of where you set it.

I am not sure about that. I have only used my on the stove top and placed it in the oven to stay warm. Sorry.

The top gets pretty hot, so you will want to pull it out when in use, then slide it back into it's counter spot when cool. The same safety procedure you would do for any high wattage toaster oven.

I have only used on a granite countertop but I've never found the granite beneath it to be warm. There is about an inch of clearance between the underside of the warming tray and the counter, so I would think it would be safe to use on a wooden surface.

I PRESUME this would be ok, as the heat is driven by a fan, so no "fire" heat comes in contact with the top. That being said, we have never tested this theory, since the unit is used in our basement.
