Large Induction Hob Protector Mat, Silicone Induction Hob Cover- (Magnetic) Cooktop Scratch Protector for Induction Hob,Multifunctional Silicone Mats (78x52cm, Pure Black)

This is the second one I have purchased for a new induction hob I purchased a couple of years ago which has kept my hob like new! I find it very easy to clean but I do clean it each time I use the hob with just a good all purpose spray and kitchen towel, then I clean the hob underneath now and again depending on the usage on top. This time around, unlike the last time, I am rotating it so it doesn't get so worn in the same spots as I tend to use the front two hob rings more. I do highly recommend it, but also recommend you wipe it virtually each time you use it, that way cooking splashes etc don't get too difficult to clean off. It is very sturdy and the quality is good.

Great. Keeps hob safe and buttons still work through it.

Lovely to start with , I was able to cook with my young grand daughters safely with no slip when they used the cooker top, unfortunately they did not keep there bright clean appearance but became quickly faded and scratched the also lost there grip and became useless for purpose I think I may have been a little generous with my mark

These are brilliant. We have used these several times with a very large cast iron casserole dish on setting 9 (max) on our Zanussi induction hob and have not had any problems with them. Some of the others on Amazon have reviews that suggest they’ve melted or scorched, but having used these for 10-15 mins on highest heat when browning meat and frying onions, we can say that they are absolutely fine. Highly recommended and great price to boot.

Hello, I originally put a 5 star review on here but something happened 2 weeks ago so I have deleted my 5 star review & replacing it with this. After 8 months of use: with this mat on as always, I boiled a pan of water then switched our induction hob off but the symbol told us the hob was still very hot. I then put an EMPTY pan on the hot hob (still with this mat between the hob & pan). On a bare induction hob, the hob would have no water nor food to make contact with & nothing would happen. Then I smelled smoke & discovered this mat was ON FIRE, yes big flames. I managed to throw it in the washing up bowl. My husband said just get another one but no, now we are just putting a normal cloth over the hob when it is not in use. It was nice having the non-slip protection over the hob when not in use, as a protective layer to use as a surface to put on washing-up etc in our small kitchen.

For reference; my induction hob is atop my BEKO BD16C65K cooker, and this mat cost me £35.71.I bought this for the advertised translucency and nearly sent it back upon discovering that it blocks maybe 80% of light, so although technically translucent, there's no practical benefit allowing the subtle markings etched on my cooker's hob to be visible through it.If your hob has very high contrast markings and you have very bright lights in your kitchen, or if the markings are actually emitting light, you might be able to see something through it.Why this matters; induction hobs and cookware should be well matched and aligned for good results. A small pan on a large ring, a large pan on a small ring or any pan not properly aligned with any ring is not ideal, so seeing the ring markings on the hob is desirable.I searched for more translucent, or preferably transparent options and found none before getting tired of scrolling through pages of the things, so kept this as it functions no differently to the non-translucent options. I solved the problem of not being able to see where the rings are, by cutting the mat such that a segment of each of the rings' edge is echoed by the mat, while maintaining as much protection for the hob glass as practically possible (see image).With other functionality in mind:1) it does give real protection to the hob glass and seems to have no effect on the efficiency of the hob, so that's great.2) the touch controls of my hob can be operated through the mat, and the segmented LED display is actually just about visible, although I can't see the etched markings for the buttons around the LED display, so that's really not helpful, so I cut that section out (see image).3) it's very grippy, which keeps pans practically glued in place, but also grabs and holds onto every tiny spec of dust floating near it. It can be wiped with a damp cloth to keep it reasonably clear, but let it air dry, since wiping it with a dry towel will render it practically furry! A thorough cleaning is easy with dish soap and water but air drying is essential to avoid the fur.4) it arrived folded and vacuum packed, so I doubt the kinks will ever fully disappear. It does however lie flat enough (not perfectly) to forgive that. Other orders may be packed differently.Summary: unless (as mentioned above) your hob has very bright markings, I would suggest ignoring the translucency aspect of this mat, and therefore maybe find a cheaper non-translucent alternative that will do the same job in all other respects.

Exactly as described. This fits our 90 induction perfect with some overhang. Good quality and works during cooking. Keeps cooker top clean and tidy. Adds an extra workspace for keeping things without damaging the top of the cooker. It’s not very see through but you do get used to placing.

Good protector for the induction rings and look very stylish Perfect size and good quality
