Can a silicone mat be placed between an induction hob and pan?

Only if both the hob and mat manufacturers explicitly permit that arrangement. A heat-resistant label alone does not prove compatibility.

What the observation means

A mat can affect sensing, heat transfer and the way the pan sits. Residual heat and temperature limits still matter even on induction.

A useful next step

Check the exact instructions before use and avoid unapproved protective layers. If warnings or poor performance began after adding a mat, stop using that arrangement and report it. Do not stack materials or increase power to compensate for an accessory the hob does not support.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
