Whether your stove has seen better days or you want to add some color to your kitchen, using stove covers is an easy way to customize your cooking space. The best part is, they are super inexpensive, especially when you buy them from the place with better deals: Dollar Tree. 

Stove burner covers are among the many budget-friendly kitchen essentials you should be grabbing from Dollar Tree. The store's Cooking Concepts Stove Burner Cover includes one large and one small cover to accommodate different-sized burners, and the pack retails for just $1.25. The covers are round and made of tin, which makes wiping them clean a breeze. Bear in mind that they are not dishwasher-safe, however, since tin rusts and warps in the dishwasher. The pattern choices vary per store but might include a seasonal theme, wine bottles, a cartoon chef, or simple geometric design. If you don't love the options, it's also easy enough to give these stove covers a mini-makeover. Simply spray them with rust-resistant spray paint in a color of your choice (in a well-ventilated area or outdoors) and allow them to dry fully before using them. 

These inexpensive burner covers are perfect for covering old electric stoves that have worn and rusted coils or new electric coil cooktops that you want to maintain, making them more aesthetically appealing while preventing hard-to-clean spills. Just remember to only cover the burners when the stove is not in use and to remove them when you're ready to cook. 

It's hard to beat the price of Dollar Tree's stove burner covers. However, they unfortunately won't work on everyone's stovetop. Since they are not flat and are like lids for the burners, they won't fit properly on glass-top electric stoves. Moreover, they aren't made to cover gas stovetops. Luckily, there are other products that will cover your gas stove or glass stovetop to prevent excess cleaning or scratches. 

Most modern electric stoves are made of ceramic glass that is scratch resistant, but not scratch proof. This is one reason why people like to cover them when they are not in use. For a utilitarian electric stove cover, opt for one that's durable and waterproof, such as the Anevna Stove Top Cover for Electric Stove, which is made of silicone and heat-resistant. Otherwise, add some design to your kitchen with a decorative silicone cover.

You can also turn your electric or gas stove top into additional counter space with a Noodle Board Stove Cover, which doubles as a serving tray or charcuterie board. Bear in mind that this type of cover is made out of wood and is not heat-resistant. Or, you can always purchase individual burner covers that are designed specifically for gas stoves, like the Reston Lloyd Square Gas Stove Covers, which, like the Dollar Tree covers, are made out of tin.
