The Triumphant Chef Silicone Hot Pad Trivet for Microwave Turntables, Stoneware, Cassoroles, Tea Kettles or Anything Hot, Heavy Duty Circle, Large (9 1/8"), Dark Red HEAVY DUTY PROTECTION FOR YOUR TABLE AND COUNTERS AND MICROWAVE - Don't worry about cracking that Microwave Turntable, or scorching that Lovey Wood Table, or chipping your stone or laminate countertop. The deep 6mm thickness provides great cushioning to prevent any surface from suffering heat and impact damage. GREAT FOR KEEPING FOOD FRESH - Doesn't matter if you are at a party or a picnic, this silicone round makes an excellent dish cover. And don't worry about the trivet falling in. The valleys between the thicker rings catch on the lip of the dish, and keep the trivet in place. VERY SAFE TO USE AND DISHWASHER SAFE - FDA approved silicone production process insures that this is safe for use in and around food. Does not absorb liquids or orders. And for easy cleanup, just placed it in the dishwasher. EASY TO GRIP WHILE CARRYING VERY HOT ITEMS - The last thing you want to do is drop a hot item filled with hot food. This silicone round is easy to grip due to the 3mm high circles on each side. Your fingers will catch on the circle edges, and have a secure hold on the item you are moving. The thin valleys between the circles make it flexible and easy to mold to the shape of the item you are moving. SAVE TIME AND PREVENT MESS IN THE KITCHEN - There are just so many uses for this silicone tool. Prevent splattering in the microwave by covering the dish. Use to remove jar lids as the circle ridges give good grip points. Prevent spills as the valleys catch and hold liquid instead of letting it run off. Grab hot pot and pan handles so you can move them safely. Oh my!
