While BurnerAlert stove reminder may be a great solution for many people with Alzheimers or dementia, BurnerAlert may not be the right fit everyone. If you require a stove safety device that does more than alert you consider using a shutoff device for your stove. For example two companies market stove shutoff devices for the electric stove. We love our product BurnerAlert, however we realize not all people will find our product suitable for their needs and we are delighted to share all of our competitors so you can purchase the best stove safety device.

From the Alzheimer’s Association Home Safety Checklist

“Avoid safety hazards in the kitchen. Install a hidden gas valve or circuit breaker on the stove so a person with dementia cannot turn it on. Consider removing the knobs. Use appliances that have an auto shut-off feature. Keep them away from water sources such as sinks. Remove decorative fruits, sugar substitutes and seasonings from the table and counters.”
