VHC Brands Potomac Jute Stencil Star Trivet

Yes, the dense, hand-braided jute construction provides a reliable buffer between hot cookware and your table surfaces. While it is excellent for standard pots and pans, we recommend avoiding placing extremely high-heat items directly from a broiler or open flame onto the trivet.

Because this is made from natural jute fibers, it is not machine washable. Spot clean any spills immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap, then lay it flat to air dry completely to prevent moisture from damaging the fibers.

The stencil design is durable, but like most natural fiber products, prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight can cause the colors to soften over time. To maintain the vibrancy of the burgundy, tan, and blue tones, keep the trivet away from intense, constant UV light.

An 8-inch diameter is the standard size for most everyday saucepans, skillets, and serving dishes. If you frequently use oversized Dutch ovens or large roasting pans, you may find that a larger or multiple trivets provide better coverage.

No, this trivet does not have a synthetic non-slip backing. The natural texture of the braided jute provides a decent amount of grip on most wooden or laminate surfaces, but it is best used on flat, stable tabletops.
