Trivets & Underliners

Premium Trivets & Underliners for Tabletop Protection

The last thing you want is a scorching hot pan or baking dish leaving marks on your table or serving platters. Our selection of trivets and underliners is designed to safeguard surfaces, enhance presentation, and make transitions from kitchen to tabletop effortless. Whether you’re serving sizzling fajitas in cast‑iron skillets or bringing casseroles straight from the oven, sturdy trivets prevent heat damage and keep guests safe. We feature options from American Metalcraft, a trusted name in foodservice supplies, so you can count on consistent quality and durability.

Our range includes heat‑resistant silicone trivets in multiple shapes and sizes. Choose classic round trivets in diameters from 5” to 10”, rectangular pads for elongated platters, or square designs for skillets and baking dishes. Silicone provides excellent grip and insulation; its non‑skid surface keeps dishes steady during transport and protects tabletops and countertops from scuffs. These trivets are flexible yet robust, making them easy to store and simple to clean, just hand‑wash or toss them in the dishwasher.

Underliners help elevate hot pans, skillets, and sizzle plates off the table, creating space for airflow and preventing burns. While silicone pads handle most everyday applications, cast‑iron or metal underliners are ideal for sizzling platters. Some designs feature footed bases to improve stability and minimize heat transfer to tables. Wooden or melamine underliners add a rustic touch and complement modern tabletop presentations. For facilities that use multiple sizes of skillets, investing in several trivet sizes ensures every dish has a secure resting place.

How to Choose

Start by matching the trivet or underliner size to your cookware. Measure the base of your pans or skillets, then choose a trivet with sufficient diameter or width to support them. Round trivets are perfect for pots and Dutch ovens, while rectangular or square pads accommodate baking dishes and cast‑iron skillets. Next, consider the material. Silicone offers heat resistance, flexibility, and grip; cast iron underliners withstand extremely high temperatures and pair well with hot plates; wooden or melamine options provide a warm, upscale aesthetic.

If you serve sizzling dishes frequently, opt for underliners with feet or handles that make it easier to move hot items safely. For front‑of‑house presentations, choose colors and textures that complement your tableware, black silicone creates a sleek, understated look, while natural wood adds warmth. Keep a variety of shapes and sizes on hand to accommodate everything from small saucepans to family‑size skillets. And for high‑volume kitchens, select trivets that are dishwasher‑safe to streamline cleaning.
