    I use a silicone mat on mine, which both protects against scratches and stops the stove overheating when I use cast iron. You can get sheets that cover the whole cooktop if you want, or just single burners (or whatever the induction equivilent of a burner is).

      Thanks Rave. I have been using a couple of squares of baking paper. Seems to work pretty good but maybe I’ll check out the silicone 👍

        As far as I know any silicone mat that is heat safe would be fine, but there are ones sold specifically as mats for induction stoves. I’m just using a Baccarat mat that came with a set of saucepans I bought ages ago, I think it is just designed as a trivet to protect the bench from hot pans, but it works really well on the stove too.
