Know before you buy
To maintain the wood, simply wipe the trivet clean with a damp cloth. Do not submerge it in water or place it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the acacia wood to warp or crack.
Yes, the acacia wood is durable and sturdy enough to support heavy cookware like cast iron skillets or Dutch ovens, providing a stable barrier between the hot pan and your countertop.
The dotted pattern creates a raised surface that allows air to circulate underneath your cookware. This helps dissipate heat more effectively than a solid surface, offering better protection for your tables.
Acacia is a natural wood, so it may absorb oils over time if they come into direct contact with the surface. To keep it looking its best, wipe away any spills or grease promptly after use.
While it is designed primarily for heat protection, its minimalist aesthetic makes it a lovely base for serving small bowls or snacks. Just be mindful that the wood is not treated for direct food contact with wet or acidic ingredients.
