halacha - What is the function of covering the stove top on Pesach?


It appears to be a universal Ashkenazi custom to cover the area of the stove top between the burners, underneath the grates with aluminum foil. (The grates and burners and cleaned and kashered.)


As your Pesach pots or food served do not come in contact with the underlying porcelain surface, what difference does it make if it's covered? i.e. If you would never take food that splattered out of the pot, and eat it or return it to the pot, then is covering the area with foil really needed?
