Know before you buy
This trivet is designed to protect your dining table or kitchen countertops from heat damage and scratches. Its elevated design also promotes airflow, which helps dissipate heat more effectively from hot cookware.
The Three-Wave design measures 4.5 by 7 inches, making it best suited for smaller items like teapots or individual donabe. For larger cookware, you may want to consider the Four-Wave version or use multiple trivets.
This trivet is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid soaking it in water or using harsh detergents to prevent rusting.
The trivet is crafted from solid cast iron and features a slightly elevated design. While it is sturdy, we recommend placing it gently on delicate surfaces to avoid any potential scuffing.
Each piece is handcrafted in Yamagata, Japan, by Chushin Kobo, utilizing traditional Japanese casting techniques refined by designer Hisanori Masuda.
