Know before you buy
Hinoki is a premium Japanese cypress prized for its durability, moisture resistance, and natural aromatic properties. Its dense grain makes it an ideal material for heat-resistant kitchenware while offering a soft, tactile finish that won't scratch your surfaces.
The open grid design is engineered to promote airflow beneath your cookware. This allows heat to dissipate more effectively than a solid board, providing better protection for your countertops and dining tables.
The thin version offers a sleek, low-profile look that is easy to store, while the thick version provides a more substantial presence and increased distance between your hot cookware and the table surface. Choose the thick option if you frequently use heavy cast iron or very high-heat pots.
Wipe the trivet clean with a damp cloth after use and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid soaking it in water or placing it in the dishwasher, as excessive moisture can cause the natural wood to warp or crack.
As a natural, untreated wood, Hinoki may develop a soft patina or slightly darken with age and exposure to heat. This is a normal characteristic of the material and adds to the unique, lived-in character of the piece.
