EDITED REVIEW: Turns out induction cooktops (mine at least) locate the burner sensors in the center of the burner area. This fact matters because most induction-capable cookware sets place a non-magnetic area in the center of the pan's induction plate, almost always a disk with the maker's brand logo stamped upon it. What this does is weaken the cooktop's ability to detect the magnetic pan placed on the burner. The result has been to make cookware unreliable and unable to connect consistently, especially when these silicon pads are used, adding a little more distance between pan and sensor. HOWEVER, when I use iron cookware or cookware like Green Pan and some few others that don't put a non-magnetic aluminum logo in their pan centers, the connection is strong and these silicone pads work very well.

These look okay and seem durable. However, they appear to be too thick. My new GE induction cooktop did not work with this pad under the pan. Once I removed it and placed the pan directly on the glass, everything works fine.

I've been using the 11 inch version of the Induction Cooktop Mat for nine months. I've returned today to purchase a second smaller one, and - though I don't often write reviews - thought my experience warranted doing so.

I purchased a Samsung induction range and was wary of using my cast iron and carbon steel pans on the surface without some sort of protection. In the nine months since purchasing this mat, I have used it every day. It has discolored from use, but it has never once done any less than promised; namely protect the delicate cook surface, which looks as new as the day it was installed. With thunderstorms threatening tonight, I seared two ribeye steaks on high heat in a cast iron pan. When done, I wiped both the mat and the cooktop - with no issues whatsoever.

Bottom line: Sure, the mat is discolored; I would expect it to be based on its composition. I didn't buy it as a stunning centerpiece to impress my friends, I bought it to keep my expensive range from getting scratched up when I use my favorite cookware. This is does very well and I can't recommend it enough for that reason... unless you have a glass-top electric range. Some of the negative reviews for this mat seem to be from folks who may not know the difference - so please make sure you're 100% certain you have induction before using a cooktop mat, or you're in for one hell of a disappointment.

Tried a few other silicone cooktop mats and they were so flimsy. This mat is sturdy, conducts heat very quickly, provides ultra protection and easy to clean. They are a bit more than the other ones I tried but so well worth it! I purchased one large and one small and use them every day. Great protection for my new induction glass cooktop oven.

We bought this to protect our new induction cooking range along with another product : Baker boutique silicone cooking mats (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B5XHHWP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). We were particularly concerned how the functionality of such mats would be impacted with cast-iron cookware, which can get quite hot. We therefore took a chance with the Handy Fox mat even though it had no reviews at that time as it claimed to withstand higher temperatures and it also had fiberglass as one its material ingredients. The good news is that cast-iron cookware do not seem to char it. Once you peel it off, you do see the pattern of the mat on the glass top. However we have been able to wipe this off quite easily with a glass top cleaner and microfiber cloth. We are also not testing the mats on full wattage whenever possible and we dial it down once the iron-skillet gets too hot. So far so good with both types of mats. We have had this for less than a month and we give this a cautious two-thumbs up. Keeping our fingers crossed that we don't experience a melted mess on our induction stove.

I have had these since I bought my induction cooktop stove, three years now and it still looks like brand new. Your pans never touch the glass surface so there's not a single scratch!
