Trivets and pot holders can be made from a variety of materials that complement your home and living decor. Metals such as stainless steel and cast iron are known for durability and heat resistance. They are a popular trivet material as they can withstand high temperatures and provide excellent stability for hot cookware. Ceramic, silicone, wood, and wicker trivets are popular for their high heat resistance and decorative designs.
Both trivets and pot holders may be made from silicone, cotton, or other quilted fabric but silicone options tend to be more popular as pot holders due to their flexibility. Silicone and crochet pot holders help protect your hands, although silicone pot holders are considered a more modern option that has a slip-resistant grip while shedding water and grease. Crochet holders are quaint and homey and available in multiple styles of knitwork, often handmade from burn-resistant fibers such as a cotton-wool blend. Fabric pot holders are usually machine washable.
