Full details
The Victor Traditional Oval Trivet by Symple Stuff is designed for home cooks and hosts who need a durable, heat-resistant base for hot cookware while maintaining a classic aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the combination of robust cast iron construction and elegant cut-work detailing, which protects your dining surfaces from thermal damage. A notable caveat is that the heavy cast iron material requires careful handling on delicate wood surfaces to avoid scratching.

FAQs
Can I put this trivet in the dishwasher?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the trivet only to preserve the integrity of the glaze and prevent rust.
Is this safe for glass-top stoves?
Use caution; because the trivet is made of cast iron, dragging it across a glass-top stove may cause scratching. It is better suited for dining tables or granite countertops.
Does the trivet get hot during use?
Yes, as a conductor of heat, the cast iron will become warm if a hot pot sits on it for an extended period. Allow it to cool before moving it.
What are the dimensions of this trivet?
The trivet features a standard traditional oval shape designed to accommodate most average-sized household pots and serving dishes.
Can I use this for cold serving dishes as well?
While designed for heat, it works perfectly fine as a decorative base for cold serving platters or bowls to keep them elevated and centered on your table.
Troubleshooting
Trivet leaves scratches on wooden tables
Apply small adhesive felt or silicone furniture pads to the bottom contact points of the trivet.
Surface rust appearing on the trivet
Gently scrub the rusted area with a soft brush, dry thoroughly, and lightly coat with a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the trivet is simple; just place it on a flat, stable surface before setting your hot cookware down. It is compatible with a wide range of kitchenware, including stainless steel pots, ceramic baking dishes, and cast iron pans. To maintain the piece, wipe it clean with a damp cloth after every use. While the glaze is protective, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh chemicals, as these can strip the finish and expose the iron to potential rust. Ensure the trivet is completely dry before storing it away.
