Will a silicone baking sheet be strong enough to withstand the high temperature from cast iron cookware ?

I bought an induction cooktop oven range couple days ago and so far it's been pretty magical in terms of , well, basically everything.

My better half currently uses paper towel or paper under a cast iron wok to protect the cooktop from scratches and it's browning from the high temperatures. It wouldn't do that if I was just boiling water or soups as the temperature doesn't get that high I guess.

Has anybody with an induction cooktop used something like a silicon mat for baking to protect the cooktop from scratches ? I'm wondering if it would be able to withstand the high heat from a cast iron wok and not melt ?

Any other suggestions to protect from the potential scratches from the cookware to the cooktop would be appreciated as well.

Thanks

Parchment or thin silicone mats. Costco has those black Cookina mats (up to 550F)... Maybe that would work well as they are thinner and can take pretty high heat.

It’s a stove, not a piece of art. My Bosch induction is holding up just fine after 6 years. I have a 10” Lodge as well a baking steel. I also use a carbon steel wok that I slide back and forth.

The stove is new to the OP so like lot of things, tendency is to be ultra safe. After you get the first scratch...it's no longer new and you no longer treat it like a baby. Just like new cars.
