FAQs
What material is the trivet made from?
The trivet is made from solid, high-quality beech wood.
What are the dimensions of the trivet?
The trivet is expandable, ranging from a minimum length of 13.5cm to a maximum length of 20.5cm.
Is the trivet safe for all types of hot cookware?
Yes, the beech wood construction provides excellent heat resistance for standard hot pots, pans, and dishes.
How should I clean the trivet?
You should wipe the trivet clean only with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking it in water or using harsh cleaning agents.
Can I put very heavy pots on this trivet?
The trivet is designed to be stable and hard-wearing, capable of supporting most standard heavy cookware when placed on a flat surface.
Will the wood scratch or dent easily?
Beech wood is a hard-wearing material, offering good resistance to scratches and dents from normal kitchen use. However, sharp impacts or dragging heavy items could potentially cause damage.
Troubleshooting
Trivet is difficult to expand or contract.
Gently wiggle the two halves while pulling or pushing. Ensure there are no food particles or debris obstructing the sliding mechanism. If the issue persists, check for any warping or damage to the wood.
Wood surface appears dry or dull.
Apply a small amount of food-safe mineral oil with a soft cloth and allow it to soak in. Wipe off any excess. This will help restore the wood's natural sheen and protect it.
Stains or marks on the wood surface.
For fresh stains, wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by prompt drying. For persistent discoloration, consider light sanding and re-oiling the affected area.
