What is TRIVET?

Traditional trivet is usually a small three -legged metal tray located on a dining table that protects it from hot food containers. It should suspend hot dishes or boards at least 1 inch (2.54 cm) above the table surface to allow the air to flow below it. Metal designs can range from purely functional to decoration, although they all fulfill the same obligation. Some trivettes are tailored to specific dishes such as sauce ships or teapots.

Other materials can also be used to create a Trivet. One common wood processing project uses a small wooden frame and pieces of ceramic heat resistant tiles. The woodcut first creates a square frame of thicker wood, such as Eben, and then attaches small ceramic tiles with a thermal resistant silicone adhesive. One method can really be very decorative, because there are literally hundreds of different tiles from which you can choose.

with the arrival of new thermal materials,As silicone, modern trivet does not have to use any metal for the structure. Many cooks will use gloves or silicone pads instead of a traditional metal tray. Any material that can safely absorb heat and protect the surface of the finished table can be considered an informal trivet. The heat generated by microwave meals may be enough to cause serious damage to the dining table so that the protective layer should be used whenever possible.
