Thanks for the counter cover recommendations!
What about tape? What do you recommend?
Water-resistant?
What about for the oven/oven door?

There is a special counter tape sold by the Jewish stores which works really well. It's a plastic, pliable tape with a great adhesive, yet it is still removeable. It comes in white or clear. I don't know what it's officially called, so I'm not sure if it's available from non-Jewish stores.

duct tape works fine.
For an oven I think it’s called high temperature tape. Last Time the one I used did not work.

Contact paper?
And they showed her doing the easy counter.

Another possibility:  growing up we used wallpaper on the counters.  I hated the feel.

Does the concept of "pesach store" still exist anywhere?
A place where only kosher lpesach stuff are sold?

been around for years. Used to be under the name LoMi Cooktop Mat. Had Star-K for a brief time last year.
We've been recommending it in our pesach guide for years
Can I use this to cover the glass cooktop around my metal grates?
Is there something else I can use to cover the glass top around the grates?

bothers me as well. I found a place in Willy. Can’t remember which block. It’s a long block and I think it has one of those urgent cares.

Maybe someone here knows what I’m talking about.

At bingo I asked the cashier to scan the item and place it directly in the box.
