Kitchen job. Any experiences on stainless cooker splash backs?

Particularly keeping clean.

I see Screwfix do a modestly priced one on MDF.

My real problem is that the cooker (electric) needs to stand a few
inches forward of the wall and slide back to release the neighbouring
under counter fridge. I had in mind folding a sheet metal shelf to
support a row of tiles. However, the cut steel edge would rust and the
tiles be vulnerable to cooking utensils.

Stainless was the next thought and online suppliers will do delivered
cut to size. I suppose I could fold 1.2 mm sheet and do a small return
to make the edges safer.....

Installed an Ikea (SS on mdf) one and it's been fine in the sense of
cleanliness but it's suffered a fair bit from being scratched by pan
handles and stuff. Although that's probably because our Induction hob
goes almost back to the tiles

We've had one of these for 5+(?) years. Absolutely no problems and it
looks good.

I've used a sheet of Aluminium in the past.

OK chaps. Cut to size SS ordered. Not cheap but the offcut may come in
handy.
