Abstract
A cooking vessel support for a burner includes a grate and a support foot. The grate has a top surface configured to support a cooking vessel and a lower surface configured for disposal along an upper surface of a cooking appliance. The lower surface defines a cavity. The support foot is disposed within the cavity, has a first protrusion disposed within a first portion of the cavity, has a second protrusion disposed within a second portion of the cavity, and has pad disposed within a third portion of the cavity. The first protrusion is secured to the pad along a side of the pad. The first and second protrusions are configured to engage first and second internal surfaces of the grate within the first and second portions of the cavity, respectively, to restrict movement of the base support in first and second directions, respectively.
