A household item that you may not be familiar with is a trivet. There are several definitions, but essentially, a trivet is a small plate or rack that sits on the table or countertop on which you place hot pots or serving dishes. The trivet allows you to protect the surface underneath. The word "trivet" originates from Middle and Old English words for cooking vessel (trevet) and three-footed (trefet). Traditionally, trivets were made with three "feet" to provide a cooling airflow underneath the pot.
Trivets are commonly made from metal, ceramic, or tile. They often have decorative features, allowing them to dress up a table as well as serving a functional purpose.
Trivets should be used whenever a hot pot or serving dish may damage or scratch the surface of a table. They can also be used as spoon rests, or for display.
