A new and improved device for retaining utensils on a stove top. The device includes an electromagnet spaced a predetermined distance below the stove burner or attached thereto. In a first embodiment, the electromagnet may be electrically connected to a control knob on a gas stove which is likewise connected to an electronic ignition system. Accordingly, activating the burner will simultaneously activate the magnet allowing a pot or pan to be magnetically secured thereto. In a second embodiment, the electromagnet is electrically connected to a control knob on an electric stove which activates the burner. Therefore, the electromagnet will be activated simultaneously with the burner to magnetically secure a pot or pan thereto. Either embodiment may include a separate switch means for selectively interrupting power to each of the magnets allowing a user to periodically manipulate the pot or pan.
In combination with an electric stove having a top wall with a plurality of apertures thereon each for receiving an electric grill having an upper surface on which a pan or pot rests, with a drip pan therebelow, each of said grills acuatable with a control knob on a control panel depending from said top wall, a retaining device comprising:
In combination with a gas stove having a top wall with a plurality of apertures thereon each aperture having a gas burner therein, said gas burner having an upper surface and a grill thereabove for supporting a cooking utensil, a plurality of control knobs on a control panel depending from said top wall each in communication with a discrete electronic ignition means for selectively activating a predesignated burner, a retaining device comprising:
