Hi all,
Got a question for the collective wisdom. My sister and brother-in-law recently completed a serious kitchen remodel and got an excellent 5 burner gas cook top. Big stainless bed with 3 part cast iron grid over the top. And one minor design flaw. The cast iron grids stand on the stainless and have little rubber feet (smell like neoprene) which keep them from scratching up the stainless. Unfortunately if you crank the gas up, the transmitted head turns them into vapor. Manufacturer's answer was to send more feet, with the same characteristics. So I'm wondering what kind of machinable nonmarring material could replace them. I cranked out some samples from some delrin I had handy, but it melted (not surprising - it was just a prototype). Are there any high tech plastics that would work (probably talking 400 - 500 degrees)? Or should I just cut to the chase and make them some polished brass feet?
