Plate Divider 2 Pack- Food Separator - Food Safe Silicone (Orange)

Product Information

Honestly? Probably nothing! However, hob separator plates cost very little and could save you a massive headache. You see, all a hob separator plate is for is to separator your hob from whatever is underneath it. The idea is that the plate will protect the underside of your hob from being damaged from anything inside the drawer or cupboard. However, this isn’t the case – it’s fine to install an induction hob over a drawer. I’m not saying that you could store a great big magnet underneath an induction hob without any issues. However, for the typical stuff you’d find in a kitchen drawer, you shouldn’t have any issues. A lot of people think that hob separator plates are only needed if there could be any issues with heat or in an induction hob’s case, magnetism. With an induction hob, many worry that metal drawer slides underneath the hob could cause magnetism issues as the hob works with magnetism. The sharp edges of the hob could really damage you and any cooking equipment in a drawer or cupboard. The wires could be damaged by items in the drawers.

A hob separator plate does precisely what it says. Let’s say that your hob is going to be installed over a draw or a cupboard. The top of this unit will be exposed so that the hob can be fitted. However, after installation, the hob’s guts (for want of a better word) would be left exposed if it wasn’t for a hob separator plate. Hob separators don’t help with any magnetism or heat issues—all of that stuff is already built into the hob itself (if it’s a good-quality hob, anyway). Hob separator plates are designed so that a hob can be installed above a cupboard or a drawer. They are to protect the underside of the hob and you from the components on the underside of a hob.Let’s say that you don’t install a hob separator plate, and then put a big saucepan in the cupboard below your hob and pull the wires out of the hob as you do. That is expensive to fix. The Food Cubby is a smile-shaped silicon rubber that acts as a food separator by keeping each food item in its own place on the plate. Parents, it’s time to celebrate! The Food Cubby (food separator) So, is a hob separator plate needed? Well, yes. You see, while a hob separator plate isn’t solving a magnetism or heat issue, it is still required. If your kid has this phobia of certain foods touching each other, then we are probably in the same boat. It is very daunting to have a fussy eater who wants their potatoes clustered together without touching spaghetti, or scrambled eggs on the other side. It is even more exhausting if a simple mix-up has the potential to ruin a promising meal. When buying an induction hob, or any hob, for that matter, there can be a few items that cause headaches for even the most seasoned amateur kitchen designer.

Also, let’s say you don’t have a hob separator plate install and reach into the drawer in a rush, taking a little less care than usual and catch your hand on some very sharp metal on the underside of the hob. For the small price of a hob separator plate and a few minutes of installation, you’ll wish you had taken the time! One of these items is a hob separator plate. What is it, why do you need this plate and can you live without a hob separator plate? The same is true for shielding the drawer or cupboard from the heat of the hob. All hobs should have built-in heat protection. Plus, heat rises, so the cupboard or draw probably wouldn’t get too hot anyway.
