Trivets
(Feb 13, 2023) Trivets are used to protect wooden surfaces from hot objects. In the kitchen they are used to keep hot pans from damaging countertops. In rituals, now and in the past, they are used to protect surfaces from hot items such as incense burners, candles, and small cauldrons. The ancients made them from fired clay while modern ones tend to be made from cast iron.
