It's only a short journey from door mat to trivet, as this seemingly inconspicuous household item proves. The lightweight, small yet extremely robust square made of galvanized wire used to be in daily use in many kitchens. Almost eternally durable, the corrosion-protected, heat-resistant mesh is unbeatable as a trivet for pans and roasters, pots and kettles - and unbeatably cheap. The wire loops are processed so carefully and cleanly (by machine) that no exposed ends remain. This means you can use this trivet even on sensitive surfaces without any worries. By the way: We have actually been supplying a door mat made from the same galvanized wire mesh for years.
