- Is this trivet safe for hot dishes straight from the oven?
- Agate stone handles moderate heat from serving dishes and teapots. Avoid placing a pan straight off a burner on it, since sudden temperature swings can crack natural stone.
- Will the trivet I receive look like the photo?
- No. Each trivet is cut from natural agate, so banding, color and translucency vary from piece to piece. Expect variation rather than an exact match.
- How do I clean it?
- Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it right away. Skip the dishwasher and harsh cleaners, which can dull the stone or the gold trim.
- How does it compare with a silicone or cork trivet?
- It is heavier, more decorative and more fragile than silicone or cork. Those are cheaper, dishwasher safe and nearly unbreakable; this one is chosen for looks.
- What size dishes does a 9-inch trivet hold?
- It fits most teapots, casseroles and serving platters up to about 9 inches across. Larger roasting pans will overhang the edge.
- Can it be used as a wall or shelf display piece?
- Yes. Many owners keep it on a sideboard or shelf as a decorative accent. It has no hanging hardware, so it sits flat rather than hanging.
