Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the Zeal trivet microwave safe?
Yes, the silicone material is heat resistant up to 250°C, making it safe for use in microwave or oven environments.
Can I use this as a potholder?
Yes, its heat-resistant properties make it an excellent emergency grip for handling hot handles, though it is primarily designed as a countertop mat.
What is the diameter of the mat?
Most Zeal round trivets are 18-20cm in diameter; please check your specific product packaging for exact measurements.
Is it safe for non-stick cookware?
Absolutely, the silicone is soft and non-abrasive, ensuring it will not scratch or damage delicate non-stick pan coatings.
Does the mat discolour over time?
While it is made from high-quality materials, intense heat or heavily pigmented spices (like turmeric) can cause minor staining over long periods of use.
Troubleshooting
Trivet is sliding on a smooth countertop.
Ensure both the underside of the trivet and the countertop are clean and dry, as moisture can sometimes reduce the effectiveness of the non-slip grip.
Food residue is stuck in the decorative patterns.
Soak the trivet in warm, soapy water for 10 minutes to loosen debris, then use a soft brush or the dishwasher to remove stubborn particles.
The mat has developed a white film.
This is often due to hard water deposits in the dishwasher; wipe the trivet with a little bit of white vinegar to restore its appearance.
