Know before you buy
The hot pad is infused with real spices that are activated by the heat of your cookware. When you place a hot dish or kettle on top, the warmth releases a subtle, festive aroma into your kitchen.
The scent is long-lasting, but it will naturally fade over time with repeated use and exposure to heat. You can expect the fragrance to remain effective for a significant period of seasonal use.
The hot pad is round with a 10-inch diameter and a thickness of 1 inch, providing a stable and heat-resistant base for most standard pots, pans, and kettles.
Yes, the 1-inch thickness provides excellent insulation to protect your countertops and tables from the high heat generated by cast iron or other heavy-duty cookware.
Because the fabric is infused with spices, it should be spot-cleaned only. Avoid submerging it in water or machine washing it, as this will diminish the fragrance and potentially damage the structure.
