Trivets protect a table or counter from hot pans and dishes by lifting heat off the surface, and kitchen trivets often double as small decorative mats. At Eleish Van Breems Home we stock them in wood, wool, cork and metal. Explore the full trivets range for everyday heat protection.
Which materials make the best trivets for hot pans?
The best trivets for hot pans are dense and heat-stable: solid wood, thick cork, cast metal or tightly wound wool all resist scorching. Choose a size that fits your largest pot. Pair them with serving utensils so hot dishes move safely from stove to table.
How do kitchen trivets earn a place on open shelves?
Kitchen trivets earn a place on open shelves when the piece is decorative enough to show: a carved wood round, a woven wool pad or a metal trivet works between uses. Antique culinary copper pieces sit naturally alongside them.
How do I clean kitchen trivets of wood, wool and metal?
Clean kitchen trivets by material: wipe wood with a damp cloth and re-oil occasionally, spot-clean wool, and wash metal or cork by hand. Avoid soaking wood or putting it in the dishwasher, which can crack it over time. Round out the table with modern serving utensils for serving.
