Abstract
A rectangular shaped padded cloth cover for the outside of an oven door is constructed by securing together several pieces of material to provide the thickness or padding necessary to establish a protective barrier. Loops are provided to secure the cover to the oven door handle, and magnets, adhesive, or other fastening devices hold the cover to the door when the door is opened. The cover protects against injuries resulting from casual contact with a hot oven door, and also serves a decorative function.
