We purchased an induction hot plate last year and I've always been afraid of scratching the glass and finally did. I googled how to prevent it and ended up getting this silicone mat. Wow, it's really great. There's no slip and slide, it's easy to clean and we're very pleased with it. It also looks great.

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.

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.

I now have these in 3 sizes. They heat well, but equally important, they protect my glass induction cooktop.

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!
