Bake-O-Glide® Factory Seconds Induction Hob Protectors are fully functional, with minor imperfections in either the border or the mesh. The imperfections vary between protectors.
Choose between the Original, with open edges that can be trimmed to fit, and the Edged, with sealed silicone edges and fixed sizes. Both are silicone-coated woven glass fibre mesh.
Heat resistant to 250°C. For induction hobs only.
Choosing a Size
The Original is available in 295 x 520mm, 590 x 520mm and 780 x 520mm. The Edged is available in those sizes and also in 1069 x 489mm. Choose a size that matches the width of your induction hob. If you are unsure, measure the glass surface or check your hob manual.
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) |
| Heat resistance | 250°C | 250°C | 250°C | 250°C |

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 protector directly onto an induction hob and cook as normal. It allows compatible induction cookware to heat normally while helping to protect the glass beneath, including under heavy cast iron cookware.
The Original can be trimmed with sharp scissors if needed. The Edged has sealed edges and cannot be trimmed.
Cleaning and Care
- Wipe with warm water, mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or sponge.
- For a fuller 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.
- For a 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.
Hand wash only. Do not put the protector in a dishwasher. Store rolled or flat.
For a spotless finish, many customers also use HG Hob Cleaner Extra Strong, Mr Eco Cellulose Sponge Cloths and the Spontex Microfibre Kitchen Cleaning Kit. We also stock a 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.
Which induction hob protector should I choose?
The Original has an open mesh with unsealed edges, is priced below the Edged and Solid, and can be trimmed to fit. The Edged has the same open mesh with a sealed silicone border, comes in nine sizes including BORA cutouts, and cannot be trimmed. The Solid has a sealed surface, so spills stay on top and wipe away, and comes in four fixed sizes. The Circles protect individual cooking zones only. All four are heat resistant to 250°C and suitable for induction hobs only.
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?
Let the hob and protector cool first. For everyday cleaning, wipe with warm water, mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth, or rinse under warm water and dry. For a deeper clean, soak the protector with a dishwasher tablet in boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes, gently clean with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly and air dry. You can use both sides of the protector. Hand wash only. Do not put it in a dishwasher, and avoid abrasive scrapers and harsh brushes.
What size do I need for my hob?
The Original is available in 295 x 520mm (2 ring), 590 x 520mm (4 ring) and 780 x 520mm (5/6 ring). The Edged is available in those sizes and in 1069 x 489mm (extra large 5/6 ring). Measure your hob surface and choose the size closest to your cooking area.
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® Induction Hob Protector is 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 glass surface, keeping your hob looking new even with daily use.
I have stubborn marks on my hob where liquid has got into the mesh. What should I do?
This can happen during everyday cooking. If liquid gets trapped between the pan and the hob and is left to sit, it can settle into the mesh pattern over time and dry into a more stubborn residue on the glass. It isn't a fault with the protector. As with any spill on a hob, it needs cleaning, though a mark that has been left to settle takes a little more effort to lift.
Let the hob cool and lift the protector off. Apply HG Hob Cleaner Extra Strong with a damp cellulose sponge cloth and work it gently into the affected area. Rinse the sponge and repeat over the same spot for stubborn patches. Once the marks have lifted, a microfibre cloth removes any streaks.
If you want spills kept off the glass altogether, our Solid Induction Hob Protector has a sealed surface that stops liquids passing through.
What are factory seconds?
Factory seconds are Bake-O-Glide® Induction Hob Protectors with minor imperfections in either the border or the mesh. They are fully functional, and the imperfections vary between protectors.
