Knobs Wont Turn Off When Using Range Top And Oven Because It Gets Too Hot

We run into the above mentioned issue on a regular basis... When we cook spaghetti for example. On one burner we boil the noodles and on the other the sauce and we bake the garlic bread at the same time. The PLASTIC range knobs get so hot that when you go to turn them off they wont turn off without stripping the knob. Is there a fix to this?
