Works great on our induction range, was worried about scratching the glass but this keeps it safe and is easy to use. Didn't notice any difference in cooking temps.

Right out of the box I was impressed by the thickness but a little concerned with the ridges that radiate out from the center of the Dwellaro Induction Cooktop Mat. Thes ridges give an airspace, which is desirable on the cooktop side to lessen heat buildup (and of course the pan is no longer in direct contact with the induction burner so less heat transfer from the pan). I think these ridges allow a little more slippage, than if the mat was perfectly flat, but I think that's a minor issue. if you use this mat as a trivet, these ridges are very beneficial to protect the underlying surface. Like other reviews have stated, it does take longer to get up to power. I placed 16 oz of water in a saucepan and with a setting of 9 (not boost) on my KitchenAid induction cooktop, it took 1min 55 seconds to reach a boil without the mat, and 2 min 05 seconds with the mat. So, yes you might use a little more energy, but induction is sooo efficient compared to gass or electric cooktops, you are still way ahead. If you don't have and induction cooktop, then I'm not sure why you're reading my review... But you need to buy an induction burner (available on Amazon) and try induction cooking out. (Also great for RVs, yachts, and outdoors!). Remember these portable burners are only 110V, so cooking on a portable will be much slower (for heat up, primarily) and I'm betting you will fall in love with induction! So, scrap your old stove 20th Century stove and move your cooking to the 21st Century! These mats are a great addition to induction cooking. CHEERS!!

Our primary fuel source for cooking has been gas - natural at home and propane at our vacation getaway. In each case, we have occasional need for an extra burner, so we picked up a standalone induction hotplate that can be used at either location, or even in a hotel room, if necessary.One thing I found that I didn't like about the burner was the hard top surface, which allows the pot or pan to slide around while attending to the contents. So I was excited to see this mat, and immediately ordered one.I've seen reviews that address perceived weaknesses with its performance, and there is some validity to these comments. To me, however, the benefits of using it outweigh the negatives.1) I find that the mat does provide additional traction against the pan sliding around. It may not be as much as some would prefer, but it's helpful.2) The amount of energy that makes it through the mat to heat the cooking vessel is decreased - that's physics in action: the ridges on both sides of the mat raise the pan approximately 1/8 inch off the surface of the burner. This causes some weakening of the magnetic field, which results in slower heating. But it also results in much less heat buildup on the surface of the burner that was formerly transferred from the bottom of the pan. After boiling water for several minutes in a test, I removed the pan and mat, and observed the surface of the induction burner to be only a bit warm to the touch.And without direct the pan/burner contact, the burner will require far less cleaning. I had to buy some cooktop cleaner after the very first time using it with my cast iron skillet, due to its becoming stained. Using this mat will virtually eliminate scrubbing to remove stains in the future.I performed a couple of tests to check on the reduced power and slower heating capacity while using the mat. In each case, I heated 6 cups of 60-degree water using a medium-high power setting until my instant read thermometer detected the water boiling. Without the mat in place, it took approximately 9 minutes. With the mat, the time increased to 12 minutes. I think that, once the pan has reached the desired temperature, it should be able to maintain a given temperature even with reduction in the magnetic field caused by the mat being in place.And, if getting it up to temperature quickly is all that important, one could start the heating without the mat on the burner and then put it in place when properly heated.I considered giving this 5 stars, but cut back one because it's not really 'perfect'. But I like it a LOT!!! Two thumbs up - recommended if you can live with the relatively minor limitations!

We have a new induction cooktop and are learning as we go. We used the silicone pad this morning to cook some eggs. I started cooking at a level 5. The eggs took several minutes to begin cooking. I removed the pad to see the difference in cooking and the eggs cooked much faster. The pad seems to lower the level of cooking by about 1 full level for my cooktop. The pad stayed in place just fine for when I was cooking and did not slip around. Overall, the cooking pad was nice enough to cook with. I’m not sure yet how I feel about using a cooking pad versus cooking directly on our cooktop. The cost of this pad seems high to me at about $20. I would have hoped to get two for that price.

This is listed as a non-slip, scratch protection pad for induction burners, and to be fair it does do that just fine - when you can actually use it. The problem is the limitations on when you can use it. Specifically, the documentation says to not use it a) on high power, or b) when the induction burner is on temperature control setting rather than a fixed power level. For me at least this rules out probably 80% of the time I use the induction burner. Much of the time I'm either using the temperature control setting for sauces or the like where I don't want it to boil, or I *do* want it to boil, in which case I'm on a high power setting.The rest of the time, this pad is fine, and will no doubt work well to accomplish exactly what it claims. For me, however, the times where I can use it are few enough to make it not worth it.

Magnets DO adhere through this pad, so it does what it says - you can cook on your induction oven with this pad between the glass surface and your pan. But it will not heat as effectively as before. If you are in a house with unlimited electricity, that may not be an issue. But if you are in a camper, that may be an important factor.But it's not limited to protecting your induction surface either: It's also great to put in between stacked pans while you are driving down the road to reduce noise. It is also something of a hotpad... A nice handy pad to have available for whichever need it the most pressing.
