Try placing a plastic tray under your mixer when baking. It will make the mixer easier to slide across the countertop and the tray will catch any spills.

What can I use to catch crumbs and spills between the countertop and stove? I heard oven guards work great, but where can I purchase one from?

I am using the guards and have good luck with them. The only problem I have is that they are shorter than my stove and the counters. They have a magnetic strip that you place next to your stove to keep them in place.

I believe I ordered mine from Harriet Carter or one of those type catalogs.

I just saw some today at Wal-Mart in the kitchen gadgets aisle. I think they were 3 dollars and some change.

I have been using the guards for years and really like them. I get mine at WalMart, they are really reasonable. They used to come in only hard plastic but now also have soft flexible ones.

Bought first set years ago and just replaced them with second set.
