A secure cover for a hot appliance made with heat resistant material having an insulation layer between heat resistant layers that can be stitched with heat resistant thread. The cover prevents users from burning themselves and can be in a shape that covers the hot part of the appliance. The cover has an encasement enclosing a band. The encasement runs along the cover's perimeter and secures the cover on the appliance. The cover may include flares that are used to attach the secure cover to the hot appliance without having the user's fingers approach too close to the hot metal of the appliance. The cover transmits heat, allowing the individual to be aware of the fact that the appliance is hot. The cover may include temperature sensitive fabric, a light indicator or other visual display with a written indication that the appliance is hot.
