Yes, the mango wood construction is durable and designed to protect your surfaces from heat. However, like all wood products, it is best suited for standard cookware and should not be used with extremely high-heat items directly from a broiler or open flame.

This trivet is crafted from sustainably sourced mango wood and features a natural whitewash finish. It is designed to be safe for kitchen use, adhering to fair trade standards that prioritize artisan and consumer well-being.
