Amazon.com Whether supporting a tray of madeleines or a bubbling cheese soufflé, this 9-inch trivet protects heat sensitive countertops and tables while maintaining an aura of elegance. Its intricate design and durable construction are the handiwork of fourteen, skilled Le Creuset artisans. Beginning with raw materials in a creuset cauldron, molten iron is poured into a one-use-only mold, rendering each trivet unique. Le Creuset craftsmen carefully examine the trivet after each step, applying multiple coats of enamel. This detailed workmanship prevents the trivet from shattering easily, plus helps prevent warping. Three solid feet further support the trivet. Dishwasher- safe, this Le Creuset piece can be washed in warm, soapy water after cooling--avoid using metal scrubbing pads. Le Creuset offers a lifetime warranty on this product. --Jessica Reuling From the Manufacturer Trivets bring warmth to any table or buffet setting, and this 9-inch deluxe round trivet lets you present your favorite wine or dish with Le Creuset style and color.
