Folding Wooden Heat Resistant Trivet Set

This Trivet Set from Velleora Home Decor folds from a flat strip into a branching tree shape, so it stores in a drawer at the thickness of a ruler and opens out to take a hot pan.

Storage is what makes trivets annoying. A rigid cork or metal trivet occupies a whole drawer slot permanently to be used for twenty minutes a week; a folding one takes almost no space and is still there when a hot casserole comes out of the oven.

Three colour and size options are offered. Timber does not conduct heat the way a metal trivet does, so the table underneath is genuinely protected rather than warmed through. Wipe with a barely damp cloth rather than soaking, and oil occasionally. Note it protects against hot pans, not open flame or a pan straight off a gas ring at full heat - let a pan settle for a moment first.
