A drip pan sits beneath your stove’s burner to help catch spills, crumbs, and boil-overs before they bake on the cooktop. That can make routine cleanup faster and help keep the area around the burner looking tidy.

• Protects surfaces: Helps shield the burner well from stains and rust.
• Supports even cooking: On many electric coil ranges, the reflective surface can direct heat back toward cookware.
• Refreshes appearance: Replacing worn pans can give your range a cleaner look.
• Flexible options: Available in common sizes (often 6-inch and 8-inch) and finishes like chrome or porcelain.

For best results, choose pans that match your range type and mounting style.

Start with your range type and what you already have. Most electric coil stoves use two sizes: smaller (often 6-inch) and larger (often 8-inch). These steps can help:

1. Measure what’s there: Check the diameter of your existing pan or the burner opening.
2. Match the mounting style: Some pans have specific slots, tabs, or lettered styles (e.g., A/B). Match what your stove uses.
3. Check compatibility: Review the product details for compatible brands/models or "universal" fit notes.
4. Choose a finish: Chrome for a bright shine or porcelain for a more durable, darker look.

If you’re unsure, compare the photos and specifications on the product page and consult your range manual for guidance.

You can shop a wide selection online at Walmart for shipping, as well as Pickup and Delivery where available. If you need them quickly, choose your local store, enter your ZIP code, and look for items marked as in-stock for Pickup today or eligible for same-day Delivery in select areas.

• Browse by size and finish: Filter or search by 6-inch, 8-inch, chrome, or porcelain.
• Check compatibility: Product pages list fit notes (e.g., electric coil or gas, universal styles).
• Read reviews: Customer feedback can provide real-world fit and cleaning insights.

Availability can vary by location, so options may differ based on your store and region.

If your range is designed to use drip pans, the safest approach is to use the correct pans and, optionally, disposable liners that fit inside them. For models that don’t use pans (like smooth glass cooktops or certain sealed-burner gas ranges), simply wipe spills promptly once surfaces are cool.

• Use only designed accessories: Consider liners made for your stove’s size and style.
• Avoid foil on the cooktop: Generic foil coverings can block vents, affect heating, or pose safety risks.
• Replace missing parts: If a pan or tray is damaged, look for a compatible replacement.

When in doubt, check your range manual for approved accessories.

Replacing a drip pan is usually straightforward. Make sure everything is cool and take your time:

1. Turn off power: Switch the range off and, if possible, unplug it.
2. Remove the coil element: Lift the outer edge slightly and gently pull it straight from the receptacle.
3. Take out the old pan: Lift it out and wipe the burner well clean.
4. Seat the new pan: Align the opening with the element receptacle and ensure it sits flat.
5. Reinstall the element: Insert the prongs fully and make sure the coil rests level.

If the element won’t sit properly, recheck the pan’s size and mounting style, and consult your range manual for model-specific guidance.
