Built from 100% food-grade silicone with a polished, sealed finish, this cover is designed to sit directly on the flat top, protecting the metal surface from moisture and particulate buildup while making cleanup faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this mat protect my griddle from rodents and insects?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silicone creates a continuous surface over the flat top, closing gaps where small pests and insects can collect debris or nest.
