A backer apparatus includes a body defining a front side for interfacing with a knob assembly and a rear side for interfacing with a cooking appliance. An inner wall extends between the front side and the rear side and includes an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a channel extending about an axis for receiving a stem of the knob assembly. At least one flange extends from the outer surface radially outwardly from the axis and at least partially defines the rear side for interfacing with the cooking appliance. A plurality of chamfers extend from the outer surface radially outwardly from the axis and at least partially define the front side. At least one of the plurality of chamfers defines a chamfer opening for receiving a fastener.
