HobShield Silicone Hob Cover

A glass hob is the largest flat surface in most kitchens and the one you are least allowed to use. Put a chopping board on it and you spend the next minute checking for scratches.

The HobShield Silicone Hob Cover turns it back into worktop. A 71 × 51 cm ribbed silicone mat lies over the whole cooktop — it protects the glass, it hides the hob, and it gives you somewhere to put things down.

Turn it over at the sink and the ribs work as a draining mat. Heat resistant to 230 °C.

Why You'll Love It

📐 It Gives You Back Half A Metre Of Worktop
In a small kitchen the hob is the biggest flat area there is. Covered, it becomes somewhere to rest a tray, cool a bake or stage a dinner.

🛡 Scratches Stop Being A Worry
Pans, tins, keys and shopping all go down on silicone instead of glass. For a black ceramic hob that shows everything, this is the point.

🍽 The Ribs Drain
Next to the sink it becomes a drying mat — water runs down the channels instead of pooling under the plates.

🧼 It Hides A Hob You Have Not Cleaned Yet
Honest reason, very common. The kitchen looks finished in ten seconds.

🔥 230 °C
You can set a hot pan straight down on it off the oven — it works as an oversized trivet across the whole surface.

🌀 It Rolls Up
Silicone, so it rolls into a tube and goes behind the bread bin or in a drawer when you are cooking.

🧽 Wipes Or Washes
Cloth and soapy water, or straight into the sink. Nothing stains into it the way it does into fabric.

🏕 Also For Caravans And Static Homes
Where every centimetre of surface counts, this is the single cheapest way to get more of it.

🏠 Gas Or Electric
It covers a flat ceramic or induction top, and lies across gas burners when they are cold.

🧒 A Safer-Looking Kitchen
With the hob covered, the controls and the rings are out of sight, which is no bad thing with small children about.

Using It Safely

Never put the cover on a hob that is still hot or switched on, and never leave it in place while cooking. It is a cover for when the hob is off and cool.

The product ships from the United States, so allow for that in delivery. Give it a day to flatten out after unrolling.
