Cast iron covers

Safer Alternatives:
Use a cooling rack or trivet

Don’t place hot items on the stove when off
Even if the stove is off, the glass is still fragile
Also, avoid placing hot pans directly on the glass — especially if they’ve just come out of the oven or off the burner.
Because that’s a one-way trip to shattered glass.
