I always try to find a solution of putting a hot lid on the countertop until I started using this trivet I bought last year and thought about my kitchen book stand. I put the metal book stand on top of this trivet and put a hot wet lid on the book stand. The liquid will flow on the trivet and the hot lid has a hard touch on the trivet surface. But I don't worry about a damage because it will still look good after being cleaned. Recent days, since I don't use it on this purpose every day, I found my husband put it under our glass tea pot. I really enjoy the multiple functions and the beautiful pattern. I am thinking to buy more. Thanks for the great design :)
Were so happy you love or Trivets. Thanks so much!
