Why choose a trivet for pots?
Protecting your surfaces
A trivet for pots is a must-have in every kitchen. It protects your surfaces from heat damage, scratches and stains that can occur when you place hot pots and pans directly on the countertop. Whether your worktop is made of wood, stone or another material, a trivet will help maintain its appearance and functionality for many years.
Stylish and functional
A trivet for pots doesn’t just have to be practical. With a wide range of designs and materials, you can find a trivet to suit your personal style and kitchen decor. From classic wood to modern silicone and felt, the options are endless. Choose a trivet that not only protects your surfaces but also adds an aesthetic touch to your kitchen.
Different materials for trivets for pots
Wood
A wooden pot trivet is both durable and natural. Known for its ability to resist heat and scratches, wood adds a warm and rustic feel to the kitchen. What’s more, wooden trivets are often handmade, making each one unique.
Silicone
Silicone trivets are a popular choice due to their flexibility and heat resistance. Silicone can withstand extremely high temperatures, making it ideal for protecting your surfaces from hot pots and pans. Silicone is also easy to clean and can often be washed in the dishwasher.
Felt
A felt trivet for pots is another great choice. Felt is a soft and gentle material that effectively protects your surfaces from scratches and heat. Felt trivets are also lightweight and easy to store when not in use.

Materials you will need
If you’re a DIY enthusiast, you can easily make your own trivet for pots. Here is a simple recipe:
– High quality wood, silicone or felt
– Scissors or craft knife
– Measuring tape
– Glue (if needed)
– Sandpaper (if using wood)
Step-by-step recipe
1. Measure and cut: Use the tape measure to measure the desired size of your trivet. Cut the material with scissors or a craft knife. If using wood, sand the edges with sandpaper to avoid splinters.
2. Customization: If you want to add extra protection or decoration, you can glue an extra layer of material on top of your coaster. This can be a piece of felt or a decorative wooden board.
3. Assembly: Make sure all parts are securely attached. Let the glue dry completely before using your new trivet for pots.
Tips for making an effective trivet for pots

Caring for your pot trivet
Cleaning and maintenance
To ensure your pot trivet lasts a long time, it’s important to clean it regularly. If you use a silicone trivet, you can easily wash it in the dishwasher. Wood and felt trivets can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Storage
When your pot trivet is not in use, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help preserve the quality of the material and prevent it from getting damaged over time.
Replacement
Although trivets are designed to be durable, over time they can become worn and lose their protective properties. Keep an eye out for signs of wear, such as cracks or discoloration, and consider replacing your pot trivet when necessary.
