KitchenRaku Heat Resistant Induction Hob Protector Mat, Black, 90 x 54 cm

These are great items that work perfectly.

Easy to cut to shape and works well.

Very good and does a great job . This product in my opinion is not translucent . A fully translucent induction cover would be fantastic

Only lasted 6 months of relatively light use and cleaning. Top layer peals off. High price for a hob cover, so expected the extra cost to ensure it lasts. Not really translucent, so I would advise buying an opaque option for less money and likely it’ll last as long.

Brilliant for covering the hob , cooking through it . Not that easy to wipe but the advantages of keeping the hob pristine far outweigh any disadvantages

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.

These hob protector mats are very good .They do exactly what they are supposed to do, look good on the hob protect it. ,are easy to wash and stay on . Would definetly reccomend .

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.

Simple cute and works great to protect the new glass top induction stove top!

Die KitchenRaku Schutzmatte ist bei uns an unserem Induktionskochfeld im Einsatz. Durch die Größe der Matte von 54x90 cm konnte ich das komplette Kochfeld damit abdecken. Die Größe reicht auch für die meisten extrabreiten Kochfelder. Da unser Induktionsfeld autark ist, habe ich mit einem Metall-Lineal und einem scharfen Cuttermesser die Bedienelemente von der Matte ausgeschnitten, sodass nur noch diese sichtbar sind. Das komplette Kochfeld ist somit vor Kratzern und anderen negativen Einflüssen perfekt geschützt. Schön ist, dass die Leistung der Wärmezonen dadurch in keinster Weise beeinträchtigt wird. Ich nutze schon länger solche Silikonmatten, deshalb ein Hinweis: Bei zu langer und großer Hitzeeinwirkung, wie dies z. B. bei Kartoffelpuffern der Fall ist (zumindest wenn man wie ich eine große Familie zu verköstigen hat) neigen alle diese Matten zu unschöner Verfärbung. Obwohl das bei schwarzen Matten kaum auffällt, gehen Sie trotzdem behutsam damit um und lassen die Matte bei eben solchen gefährlichen Szenarien einfach weg. Dann haben Sie lange Freude damit und schonen das teure Kochfeld. Ich schwöre mittlerweile auf diese Matten. Noch ein kleiner Nachteil aber: Da Töpfe und Pfannen nahezu unverrutschbar an der Matte haften, kann das z, B. beim Schnitzel soufflieren oder beim Schwenken von Bratkartoffeln stören. Beim Einsatz einer schweren Eisenpfanne zum Beispiel ist das Schwenken dann schon anstrengend. Wie schon erwähnt, man kann in solchen Fällen ja die Matte einfach abheben. Trotz dieser kleinen Einschränkungen finde ich den Umgang mit den Matten sehr praktisch und man schont die Kochmulde.

Finalmente ho risolto il problema della pentola che 'scappa' (scivola) mentre mescoli e quello di appoggiare la spesa senza il rischio di scheggiare o rigare il piano. Chi ha il piano ad induzione sa che certi cibi (tipo la polenta) richiedono un costante rimescolamento ed essendo densi fanno muovere la pentola. Bene, con questi tappetini finalmente si può mescolare solo con una mano senza dover usare la seconda per tener ferma la pentola! Ok, diciamo che la polenta è un caso limite... verso la fine della cottura, dovrete comunque tener ferma la pentola ma all'inizio ringrazierete chi ha inventato 'sti tappetini. Il materiale è morbido e sottile (quindi i piani ad induzione non perdono di efficacia). Ho preso uno da 20cm e uno da 24cm e sono molto soddisfatto!

Il tappetino funzionerebbe anche bene, però dai bordi dello stesso fuoriescono le fibre di vetro della trama interna e basta sfiorarli per conficcarsele nelle dita con conseguente prurito e bruciore. È davvero inconcepibile che un prodotto destinato ad essere usato in cucina abbia fibra di vetro a vista, dato che potrebbe contaminare il cibo.

I wasn’t expecting this to really be reliable, I was WRONG. This mat is great, i keep it on my stove and I’ve cooked pasta and potatoes that have overflowed. This mat catches every overspill and my cooktop remains clean. Highly recommend to those with induction cooktops.
