FAQs
What is the maximum temperature the mat can withstand?
The Zeal Silicone Trivet Mat is heat resistant up to 250°C (482°F).
Can I use this mat as a cutting board?
While it provides a non-slip surface, it is not designed as a cutting surface. Knives can damage the silicone. It is best used under chopping boards.
Is the pink color prone to staining?
Silicone is generally stain-resistant. However, very strong pigments from certain foods or dyes might leave a faint mark on lighter colors. Cleaning promptly after use is recommended.
How do I store the mat?
The mat has a built-in hanging loop for easy storage on a hook. Alternatively, it can be stored flat in a drawer or cupboard.
Is the silicone material food-safe?
Yes, the mat is made from high-quality, superior-grade silicone, which is hygienic and safe for kitchen use.
Will this mat protect my table from condensation?
Yes, its material and thickness offer protection against heat and moisture from dishes, and it can also serve as a barrier against condensation rings from cold glasses.
Troubleshooting
Mat has a slight odor after first use
This is normal for silicone products. Wash thoroughly with soap and water and air dry. The odor typically dissipates after a few uses.
Mat is not lying flat
Ensure the mat is clean and dry. If it was stored rolled, lay it flat under a heavy object for a few hours to flatten.
Stubborn stains on the mat
Try soaking the mat in warm, soapy water. For persistent stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and then rinsed off. Ensure it is fully dried afterwards.
