Know before you buy
The trivet features four solid cast iron feet that provide stability. While the iron is smooth, we recommend placing it carefully or using it on a tablecloth if you are concerned about potential scuffs on delicate, soft-wood surfaces.
Yes, the 8-inch diameter is perfectly sized to support standard Dutch ovens, large skillets, and heavy kettles. Its solid construction is designed to handle the weight of heavy cookware without bending or warping.
It arrives pre-seasoned and ready for immediate use. Because it is made of solid cast iron, simply hand wash it with warm water and dry it thoroughly to prevent rust; it does not need to be seasoned as frequently as a frying pan.
Yes, it is excellent for protecting glass-top stoves from hot pots. However, because it is heavy cast iron, be sure to set it down gently to avoid cracking or scratching the glass surface.
The 25-year warranty covers the structural integrity of the cast iron itself. Skeppshult stands by the durability of their Swedish-made iron, ensuring it is built to last for generations of daily kitchen use.
