What's best heat-resistant galley surface?

Try these from John Lewis. They come in green as well. Just make sure you put them on the correct side of the boat.

I liked my idea so much I bought 2 myself!

Anyway, at John Lewis they are £8 http://www.johnlewis.com/230588952/Product.aspx

On ebay they are £4 including postage. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370310214987&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I wonder why the silicone mats come in such lurid colours? Amazon do a black one for six quid/free del...

Hate to suggest you refrain from putting hot pans on the work surface but......................if your going the formica route what about 7 or 8 quid for a chopping board to stand your hot pans on............

I have wooden chopping boards to stand my pans on. Works for me.
