ABSTRACT:
A cooktop cover system and apparatus having at least one cooktop cover recessed within a surrounding framework to provide a flat surface when a cooking surface positioned under the cover is not in use. The cover comprises a generally flat plate-like member with a plurality of support legs attached to the plate-like member and extending downwardly therefrom to detachably engage a rigid planar member positioned under the plate-like member. At least one of the support legs is disposed inwardly from an adjacent outer edge of the plate-like member to provide a lever arm so that downward force applied between the inwardly disposed support leg and the adjacent outer edge of the plate-like member pivots the cooktop cover and raises the opposite edge to allow removal of the cover.
