What is a trivet?

A trivet is a heat-resistant pad or stand designed to protect countertops, tables, and other surfaces from the damaging effects of hot cooking pots, cooking pans, and oven dishes. These kitchen essentials come in various materials, each serving a unique purpose to cater to the diverse needs of home cooks.

Materials matter: What material is best for trivets?

The best material for trivets depends on your preferences and needs. Silicone trivets offer flexibility and vibrant colours, cork trivets are lightweight, rustic and stylish, while cast iron trivets are durable and classic:

1. Silicone Trivets: Ideal for those who value flexibility and ease of use, silicone trivets are heat-resistant and incredibly durable. Their non-slip surface ensures stability, providing a safe haven for your hot cookware. Easy to clean and available in vibrant colours, they add a modern flair to your kitchen.
2. Cork Trivets: Renowned for their natural heat resistance, cork trivets protect surfaces whilst adding some rustic charm to your kitchen space. The lightweight design makes them easy to handle and store, making them a practical addition to any kitchen.

Trivets: FAQ's

What is the difference between a coaster and a trivet?

Coasters are designed to protect surfaces from condensation and beverage spills, while trivets are specifically crafted to withstand the heat of hot pots and pans. Trivets provide a larger surface area, making them suitable for various cookware items.

What can I use instead of a trivet?

In a pinch, you can use folded tea towels, oven mitts, or even small cutting boards as makeshift trivets. However, for optimal protection and style, investing in dedicated trivets is recommended.

How do you display trivets?

Display trivets by hanging them on a decorative rod or hooks on your kitchen wall for both accessibility and visual appeal. Alternatively, incorporate them into your kitchen decor by arranging them on open shelves, in a decorative basket, or alongside cookware on a pot rack.
