Know before you buy
The trivet is woven from natural rush, a durable and traditional plant fiber known for its heat-resistant properties and rustic texture.
The 7-inch size is ideal for most teapots, small saucepans, and standard serving dishes. If you frequently use extra-large Dutch ovens or oversized skillets, you may find it slightly undersized for those specific pieces.
Because it is made of natural rush, avoid submerging it in water. Gently wipe away spills with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
Yes, natural rush is naturally heat-resistant and designed to protect your surfaces from oven-to-table cookware. However, it is best to avoid placing extremely high-heat items directly on the trivet for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the fibers.
No, the trivet does not have a separate backing. The woven rush construction provides natural friction against most surfaces, but it is best used on flat, stable countertops or tables.
