Is the YUHFERA stove top cover actually worth the counter space?

How the yuhfera stove top cover actually protects your glass

Here's what you're actually buying: a sheet of food-grade silicone, roughly 28 by 20 inches, laid flat over your electric or glass cooktop when the burners are off and cool. Silicone flexes without cracking and shrugs off heat far better than a towel or a cutting board, so it can sit under a warm pan or a hot mug without scorching. Know which tool is in front of you, though. This isn't a trivet you use while the burner's running, it's ground cover for a cold stove, meant to reclaim a flat surface between meals, buffer against scratches from pot bottoms and cutlery, and catch grease and spills before they etch into the glass. That's the whole job, and it does it because silicone is nonstick and wipes clean with a rag instead of soaking in like fabric would. Roll it up when you need the burners, unroll it when you don't, and the counter space comes back without you moving a single dish. It only makes sense on a flat glass or electric surface, a gas stove has grates and open flame in the way, so there's no flat plane for a mat like this to rest on, and no version of silicone that belongs anywhere near an open burner. Your hands will find the corner they cut if you buy a thin, flimsy knockoff for this job, too thin and it dents under a heavy pot, too rigid and it won't roll for storage. The thickness and the silicone grade are the entire product here, not the pattern printed on top.
