The Best Trivet

January 24, 2026

A cast iron trivet with an enameled finish. The tripod-footed design elevates hot pots and pans above countertops and tables, protecting surfaces from heat.

The cast iron can handle high temperatures from cookware straight off the stove or out of the oven.

Usage

Place under hot pots, pans, and serving dishes to protect countertops and tables.

Cleaning

Dishwasher safe, but hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended. Wipe dry after washing to prevent water spots.
