Lisa Robertson's kitchen

Daysgoby — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 04:25:21 GMT

I recently had new kitchen counter tops installed. The installer told me to always be sure to place something under anything hot, such as my crock pot, etc. I'm in the market for a large trivet for this purpose but I don't know where to look. I noticed this trivet on Lisa's counter top. (It's on her personal fb page). Can someone post the pic here for me? I'm not sure how to do it myself. (Lisa is wearing a hooded GILI sweater while making pancakes. The trivet is to the left of her sink). Anyone recognize the brand or know where to get one? Or maybe you have another recommendation? Thanks!

Thank you, meezerpleezer. This is a nice pic of it also. It looks large and sturdy. Wish I knew where to find it.

I don't know what she is using. For my crockpot, I put ceramic coasters under each foot which does work well. For bigger items, I either use a ceramic trivet or a tempered glass or ceramic cutting board.

Days--I don't have a crockpot, but I do have marble countertops and an antique French painted table which I use as an island, protected by a glass top. I love to use pretty potholders as trivets in the kitchen, but Le Creuset makes some lovely, sturdy ones as well. The nicest trivets I've seen are broken china mosaic designs, but those are reserved for the table!

There is a kitchen store in our outlet mall called ""le gourmet"" or ""kitchen connections"" I have a black marble piece like this which I purchased there and the white marble baking stone. I'll try to find the correct name of the store. The name of the store is ""Le Gourmet Chef"" .

It's just a black granite cutting board. I would just buy a nice wooden one you can hand wash to get , and use for all other purposes. I have both, but like my wooden ones the best.

If you go to Amazon and in the search box type in "surface saver cutting boards" or "marble cutting boards", lots of these will show up.

Some are marble and some are tempered glass. I didn't see any that were granite, though.

I use a half sheet pan under my crock pot, electric grill, etc. The rim would catch any spills .

A glass turn table from a old microwave works also.

I have one of these for each season and they work very well for under the crockpot. I have formica counters so I need a trivet under anything hot. That is one huge advantage to granite, I admit, you don't have to worry about hot stuff on it.

Hi there...congrats on your new countertops!! If you'd like an inexpensive solution with lots of choices...you can go to any home improvement store and look in their tile department. There you will find tiles in all types of materials...ceramic, stone, glass, marble, etc...in a variety of sizes, thickness, and colors ...that make excellent trivets. If you aren't sure what you'd like, many will let you take samples home to try...and/or easily returnable. I use several on my countertops at naturel...but super glued little velvet dots on the corners of those I use on my table so they don't scratch the wood. Enjoy your new kitchen!

QVC has sold glass cutting boards. Reasonably priced, too.

This is what I use for my crockpot and for any items coming out of the oven. Perfect. Also serves as a cutting board.

The danger would probably be taking a hot casserole or pan out of the oven and putting it on cold granite. Usually small appliances are insulated and made to use on countertops plus they heat gradually. Heat up your crockpot and feel the bottom. If it's just warm, it's not a danger.

I have a couple of them, different sizes, but they are not as thick as Lisa's. I found them at one of the kitchen collection stores at one of the outlet malls. I have had them for years. I use them constantly.

There are some nice looking trivets on Zulily today. http://www.zulily.com/e/old-dutch-international-107694.html?ns=ns_306634037%7C1415920144569#pid_20800628

This looks like a piece of Corian or something similar. When I had my kitchen done my carpenter made me two large ones as a little gift even though I didn't use that product for my counter. Love them, we use one for our coffee pots and cutting board.
