We are wanting to replace our 100cm range cooker. I've noticed that better makes/varients of range cooker are cheaper at 90cm than 100cm.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be used to cover the space that this reduction of 10cm would leave behind, in a safe athstetic way?

Obviously currently the counter and units are fitted to accommodate our current 100cm range cooker
 
Need something that I'll stand the heat?
hardiebacker board boxing and tile. Use cement adhesive.
 
Tbh I think keep with the 100cm. Imo it's going to look a bit odd with a 50mm gap either side of the worktop ends. It'll also be a perfect trap for food and other detritus to fall down. It'll look like you've tried to save money / being a cheapskate. We get the same issue when someone puts in a 55cm cooker into a 60cm gap. Looks bad.
 
Ordered a 100cm one now. Thanks for the responses though everyone
 
I had the same problem when switching to a 90cm, I filled the space with a small spice column on wheels, super practical. Otherwise a stainless steel or wood strip matching the worktop is also very clean. Nothing complicated with a little trick.
