Know before you buy
No, the rubber tips are designed to protect delicate surfaces from both heat damage and scratches. They provide a soft buffer between the heavy cast iron and your tabletop.
With a 6 1/2-inch diameter, this trivet is best suited for smaller pots, pans, or serving dishes. If you are using a very large Dutch oven, you may find it more stable to use two trivets side-by-side.
The open, cut-out design is relatively easy to wipe down with a damp cloth. Because it is cast iron, we recommend hand washing and drying it thoroughly immediately after cleaning to prevent any potential rust.
The cut-out tentacles allow for better airflow beneath your hot cookware compared to a solid trivet. This helps dissipate heat more efficiently, further protecting your countertops from thermal shock.
Yes, its nautical aesthetic makes it a popular choice for coastal-themed wall decor. You can easily hang it using a small hook or nail, provided you account for the weight of the cast iron.
