Drip pans are the chrome, shallow bowls that fit right underneath your electric range’s surface elements. Not only do they add a sharp appearance to your range, but drip pans are more than just looks; they catch drippings that otherwise could trickle down into the electrical components of your stove top, and also aid in reflecting heat back to their surface elements, aiding in efficiency. We’ve discussed cleaning your drip pans, but what about lining them with handy dandy aluminum foil? A common and low-cost practice, lining these pans with tin foil is not a safe fix to avoid the clean up. This practice can cause overheating, and potentially catch the aluminum foil on fire. In addition, this unsafe alternative also may result in the risk of electric shock, cause short circuits, fire, damage of electrical components, and puts you at the risk of injury. Though a minor result compared to the prior hazards, lining your drip pans in aluminum foil also increases the chance of the chrome bowls rusting. Needless to say, it is an inexpensive and worthwhile endeavor to replace or just simply clean your drip pans than run the risk of damaging your range, or exposing yourself to safety risks.
