you can buy glass ones at walmart or like HOme depot, Loew's

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.

My crock pot doesn't get that hot, on the outside . . . ?

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.

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_2080...

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.
