The Bake-O-Glide® Original Induction Hob Protector is a flexible, reusable mat that helps protect glass induction hobs from scratches, scuffs and moving cookware while you cook.
Its silicone-coated open mesh allows compatible induction cookware to heat normally and can be carefully trimmed for a closer fit. Choose from three sizes covering two-zone, four-zone and larger induction hobs.
The mesh is open, so liquid that gets trapped under a pan and is left to sit can settle into the mesh pattern and leave marks on the glass that need cleaning. For a sealed surface that stops spills passing through, see the Solid.
Heat resistant to 250°C. For induction hobs only.
Choosing a Size
The Original comes in 295 x 520mm (two ring), 590 x 520mm (four ring) and 780 x 520mm (five or six ring). Choose a size that matches the width of your induction hob, and if you are unsure, measure the glass surface or check your hob manual.
Bespoke Sizes
Please email bespoke@bakeoglide.kitchen with your dimensions for a quote. Bespoke protectors are made to order and are non-refundable once made. Approximate delivery time is 7 to 8 working weeks.
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.
Using And Trimming The Original
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.
Because the edges are open rather than sealed, the Original can be trimmed with sharp scissors for a closer fit, which suits unusual hob layouts and means you are not limited to the fixed sizes of the Edged and Solid. Cut carefully, as trimming can increase the chance of fraying over time.
Clean it by hand with warm water, mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth, and keep scourers and scrapers away from it. To keep the glass beneath looking its best, HG Hob Cleaner Extra Strong, Mr Eco Cellulose Sponge Cloths and the Spontex Microfibre Kitchen Cleaning Kit suit the hob, and the induction hob cleaning products collection has more. The Induction Hob Protector FAQs cover cleaning, compatibility and care in more detail.
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.
Factory Seconds And The Full Range
Protectors with minor imperfections in the border or the mesh are also sold as Factory Seconds Induction Hob Protectors. You can view all our induction hob protectors in one place.
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 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 protector comes in 3 sizes: 295 x 520mm (2 ring), 590 x 520mm (4 ring) and 780 x 520mm (5/6 ring). It can be trimmed to size with sharp scissors for a closer fit. Measure your hob surface and choose the size closest to 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® 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.

This fits perfectly and looks really nice with the edges, I can see through the fabric so if I did want to use my hob with it on I could see the controls a bit, also gives me extra space to use without worrying about damaging my hob surface.
I don’t actually plan on cooking with it on the hob surface as I want to keep it clean and I just like the look of it - it looks really smart - it sort of glistens in the led kitchen lights.

Bought this to protect my new induction hob. Pans heat up through the protector so no need to remove. Easy to clean of spillages from cooking. I love the product and would highly recommend.
A
Superb product!
A
Does what it is meant to do
V
I previously had a ceramic hob which got scratched quite badly by the end of its life so didn't want the same with my new induction hob
This mat is excellent, I trimmed it slightly for a perfect fit and find it really good, both when heating and also just standing pans or dishes on the cooker top. Easy to keep clean too and so far the hob underneath looks perfect
A
Celebrate your product; it is brilliant.
I have used it for 8 years since I scratched my first NEFF induction hob.
I bought my first cover re your product from Lakeland.
E
Perfect fit and doesn’t slide. Not only protects the hob but adds space to prep when the hob is not in use

Delighted! I was looking at silicone then spotted these, perfect! They stay put and the wee wrapper is so handy! Lovely and discreet, not chunky like silicone.

Excellent product. Doing a great job protecting my induction hob & so easy too clean.
A
Great product, fits exactly to size ordered. I shall be ordering from Bake-O-Glide in future.
Thank you for a great product.
A
Great product, really pleased with this and would definitely recommend.
A
I love it! My partner would like rings for where you put the pans added and be charged an extra £5. Not that he bought it, so unaware of the actual cost, which was very reasonable I thought!
As an alternative, he’d like it in a clear silicone!
A
This is great and protects my hob from scratches.
I have knocked a star off because its not see through so I have to lift it up to make sure the pan is sitting in the correct place and to use the controls, also it has a ‘sticky’ texture which means every little crumb and little bits of things stick to it, but these are not big problems and I prefer to have the protection for the hob. i would recommend this.
Thanks so much for your review. We’re really glad to hear the protector is keeping your hob safe from scratches. The visibility of the hob markings can vary depending on the hob manufacturer, which can affect how clearly they show through the protector. The slightly tacky surface helps prevent pans from sliding, adding an extra bit of safety while cooking. We really appreciate your feedback and recommendation!

Works very well with my new induction hob

Only just started using it on a new cooker. The edged one is very smart and should remain robust with no frayed edges.
A
great thanks
R
The hob protector is doing its job very well. I am highly satisfied with it.

It protects the hob from scratches it doesn’t stop food from dirtying the hob. The protector is woven mesh and products from cooking pads through so you still have to clean your hob.
