Foldable Silicone Trivet That Fits Any Pot or Bowl

One piece, many shapes, zero guesswork

• Folds into any shape

  Fold the trivet into an X-square, a diamond or a flat star and it covers a pot, a bowl or a cup without a second piece in the drawer. Pick the shape that matches the dish in front of you and set it down.

• Steel hinges that hold their shape

  Polished stainless steel rings link the silicone triangles, so the trivet keeps its configuration once a hot dish is resting on it. The steel is what stops the folds from drifting while dinner sits on top.

• Open cells that grip the dish

  The silicone triangles have open centers, which gives a steady base under a pot and lets steam escape from beneath. The thickened silicone covers the table where a folded towel would slip out from under the bowl.

Fold it into the shape your dish needs

1. 1
   Lay it flat

   Place the trivet flat with the silicone cells facing up. The steel rings sit between the triangles and link them in a row.

2. 2
   Pull out an X-square

   Take two opposite corners and pull them apart. The cells open into an X-square, a good match for a large pot or a deep casserole.

3. 3
   Fold into a diamond

   Bring the corners together into a diamond for a round bowl or a medium dish. Fold slowly from the outer corners and keep your fingers clear of the rings.

4. 4
   Open to a flat star for cups

   Spread the segments into the flat star when you need to support a cup or a small dish. Set the hot dish on the center and serve.

Wipe it clean and it looks new

• Wipe the silicone

  Wipe the cells after each dinner so sauce does not sit in the open centers.

• Dry the steel rings

  Dry the polished hinge rings after washing so they keep their shine and stay free of water spots.

• Store it open

  Keep the trivet flat or open in the drawer, not folded under wet items, so the rings stay dry.
