Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the Zeal trivet; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with all standard metal, glass, and ceramic cookware. To maintain the mat, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge after use. For a deeper clean, it is dishwasher safe, ensuring that any spills or food residue can be removed thoroughly. Avoid placing the mat directly over an open flame or induction burner element; it should only be used as a base for finished cookware.
