A detachable thermal insulating device for containing radiant heat produced by an oven includes at least one detachable insulating panel having one surface in contact with the external surface of the oven, the other surface facing away from the oven. The panel has a layer of thermal insulating material that is covered by a flexible heat-resistant covering. The insulating device also includes at least one fastener for holding one of its surfaces in contact with the oven surface. The insulating device substantially reduces the dissipation of heat from the oven to its surroundings.

[ What is claimed:] [1.] For use on a food baking oven that radiates heat to its surroundings in amounts that can cause discomfort to persons and/or overheat ambient environment in proximity to the oven, said oven having an interior, at least a fixed exposed front surface defining an opening for access to the oven interior, and a first and a second exposed oven door, each said door being movable between a closed position and an open position, a detachable thermal insulating device comprising:a first detachable front insulating panel having an overall surface area sufficient to substantially cover the fixed exposed front surface of the oven and defining a surface engagable directly with said fixed exposed front surface;second and third detachable front insulating panels each having an overall surface area sufficient to substantially cover the exposed front surface of, respectively, the first and second oven doors and each defining a surface engagable directly with the exposed front surface of, respectively, said first and second oven doors;each of said detachable front insulating panels comprising a layer of thermal insulating material sufficient to reduce radiant heat emanating from the exposed front surface of the oven, and a flexible, heat-resistant material substantially enclosing said layer of thermal insulating material;means for detachably holding the first insulating front panel against the exposed front surface of the oven;means for detachably holding the second and third front insulating panels against, respectively, the first and second oven doors, thereby enabling said second and third panels to move with, respectively, said first and second oven doors as said doors are opened and closed;wherein the amount of heat radiated from the oven to its surroundings is substantially reduced.
