Original vs Edged vs Circles vs Solid
All four protectors are built on the same heat-resistant silicone coated fabric. The difference comes down to the edges and the surface, how much spill protection you want on top of everyday scratch protection, and how much of the hob you want covered.
| Feature | Original | Edged | Circles | Solid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surface | Open mesh with open edges | Open mesh with sealed edges | Open mesh with open edges | Sealed solid surface with sealed border |
| Spill barrier | Liquids pass through the open mesh | Liquids pass through the open mesh | Liquids pass through the open mesh | Sealed surface prevents liquids passing through |
| Protection | Everyday scratch protection | Scratch protection with a durable sealed border | Everyday scratch protection on individual zones | Scratch protection with a sealed, wipe-clean spill barrier |
| Best for | Everyday protection at a lower price | Daily use, heavy cookware and the widest choice of sizes | Spot protection on one or two zones | Maximum protection with the easiest surface to clean |
| Sizes available | 3 (Half to Large) | 9 (including Extra Large and BORA cutouts) | Pack of 4 (2 x 175mm, 2 x 228mm) | 4 (Half to Extra Large) |

Which Model Suits Your Hob?
- If you want spills kept off the glass and a surface that wipes clean, choose the Solid. It cannot be trimmed and there is no size between 780mm and 1069mm.
- If you want everyday scratch protection that you can trim to fit, choose the Original.
- If your hob is 800, 900 or 920mm wide, is a BORA model, or you want sealed edges beneath heavy cookware, choose the Edged.
- If you cook on only one or two zones and want to leave the controls and the rest of the hob clear, choose the Circles. Areas outside the circles are not protected.
How to Use
Place the Bake-O-Glide® Induction Hob Protector – Edged directly onto an induction hob only. This protector is designed to be used while cooking on induction hobs and allows heat to transfer safely while helping to protect the glass surface beneath.
Suitable Use
- Suitable for induction hobs only.
- Stable under heavy cookware, including cast iron.
- Helps protect against scratches, scuffs and pan movement.
- Heat resistant up to 250°C.
Sealed Silicone Edges
The sealed edging is what sets the Edged apart from the Original: it improves grip, reduces movement under heavy pans, and helps prevent fraying for longer-lasting protection.
It gives everyday scratch protection with a durable sealed border, while keeping the same low-profile appearance and heat resistance up to 250°C as the rest of the range.
Because the edges are sealed, this version isn't trimmed to size. Instead it's supplied in a wide range of pre-cut sizes, including options for BORA hobs with a centre cutout.
Cleaning & Care
The sealed edges make the Edged straightforward to keep clean. There are three simple ways to do it:
- Everyday wipe: Wipe with warm water, mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or sponge. The protector can normally be cleaned without removing it from the hob.
- Full clean: Remove the protector, rinse under warm water and clean with mild washing-up liquid. Rinse thoroughly and dry before returning it to the hob.
- Deep clean: Soak with a dishwasher tablet in boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and air dry.
Allow the hob and protector to cool completely before cleaning.
For longest life, hand wash rather than using a dishwasher, and store the mat rolled or flat.
For best results and to keep your hob looking like new, many customers also use HG Hob Cleaner Extra Strong, Mr Eco Cellulose Sponge Cloths, and the Spontex Microfibre Kitchen Cleaning Kit. Or view our range of induction hob cleaning products, to help keep your hob looking its best.

For Induction Hobs Only
Do not use on ceramic, gas, radiant or solid-plate hobs. If the cooking zone glows red or orange when switched on, it is not an induction hob and this protector is not suitable.
Using this protector on a non-induction hob is misuse and will not be eligible for a replacement.
FAQs
Can I leave the hob protector on while cooking?
Yes, the Bake-O-Glide® Induction Hob Protector is designed to stay on your hob during cooking. It won't affect the induction cooking process or heat transfer, and is heat resistant to 250°C, giving reliable protection under your cookware.
What's the difference between the Original and Edged protectors?
The Original version offers flexible, cut-to-fit convenience at a lower price point and can be trimmed with scissors to match any hob size. The Edged version features sealed silicone edges that prevent fraying and provide enhanced durability and grip. Both offer the same heat resistance (250°C) and scratch protection.
Will this protector work on ceramic or gas hobs?
No, this protector is only suitable for induction hobs. Ceramic and gas hobs reach temperatures that exceed 250°C, which will cause the silicone coating to melt and the material to disintegrate. This can cause permanent damage to your hob surface. If your hob glows orange or red when heating, it is NOT an induction hob and this product is not compatible.
How do I clean my induction hob protector?
For everyday cleaning, simply rinse under hot water and wipe dry. For deeper cleaning: soak the protector with a dishwasher tablet in boiling water for 15-20 minutes, gently scrub with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. You can use both sides of the protector. Avoid harsh scrubbers and never put it in the dishwasher.
What size do I need for my hob?
We offer 9 different sizes for the Edged protector ranging from 295 x 520mm (2-ring) to 1069 x 489mm (extra large 5-6 ring). We also offer custom sizes for BORA hobs with centre cutouts. Measure your hob surface and select the size that best matches your cooking area. For bespoke sizes, email bespoke@bakeoglide.kitchen with your dimensions.
Why have white spots appeared on my protector?
White spots indicate the silicone coating has melted due to excessive heat (over 250°C), exposing the white glass fibres underneath. This is typically caused by a hot spot on your pan's base or a faulty thermal breaker in your hob. Stop using that particular pan or consult your hob manufacturer. This issue is not a defect in the protector but indicates cookware or hob problems.
Does the protector prevent scratches from cast iron cookware?
Yes, the Bake-O-Glide® Protector is specifically designed to protect your induction hob from scratches caused by heavy enamelled cast iron pots, casseroles and other rough-bottomed pots. The heat-resistant silicone coating creates a protective barrier between your cookware and the delicate glass surface, keeping your hob looking new even with daily use.

Best thing I've ever bought! Looks amazing and protects my hob.

I recommend this product. Perfect size, looks neat and tidy and easy to clean. Pans connect to induction on the protector with no issues unlike previous purchase of a different brand. The edge gives it a neat finish and I like that you can use either side.I would recommend this product. If I had a suggestion for an enhancement it would be a way to mark where the middle of the pan should sit without having to lift the mat up to look :)

Perfect fit! We've been using it for a little over 2 weeks and it's been so good for our Bora. Little to no heat loss during transfer and so safe!

Bought a highly rated silicone one off Amazon. It lasted 6 months before it started to deteriorate. Bake-O-Glide’s with edging is such good quality. I can see the rings through it and the temperature panel. Everything cooks well throug it. Not hard to clean. I’m super happy with it.
B
Better than I expected
A
This protector is amazing and if you have not got one for your hob then do buy one. Keeps the hob protected while not in use, looks stylish and so easy to clean. Would recommend one of these to anyone who has an induction hob.
A
Great product and easy to store when not in use.
R
The induction hob cover fits perfectly, I am so pleased with it. It gives us more work surface area without fear of scratching the hob. I would definitely recommend this item.
M
So much better than the pure silicone ones - more expensive but worth it. Quick delivery
P
Excellent product at a reasonable price
N
Fantastic product
I
GreatProduct my wife loves it and it blends perfectly with the kitchen.
C
Fabulous, fits my bora hob perfectly.
M
Works really well and looks good. Nice that it gives extra work surface
P
A good product but as stated by some, a little difficult to see the induction plates through the silicon material. It does stop damage to the glass surface which is a real positive but doesn’t mean that you don’t have to clean the hob as spills do seep through the material. Generally happy with the product and would recommend.
