What Customers Ask About Triangles Trivet
The 16 x 14cm size suits individual serving dishes, small casseroles (up to approximately 18cm diameter), teapots, coffee pots, and similar smaller cookware. It's designed for individual or small servings rather than large family-sized dishes. For larger roasting tins or casseroles, you might need a bigger trivet or position multiple trivets together. Measure your most frequently used oven-to-table cookware before purchasing to ensure appropriate fit.
Zone Denmark produces several geometric patterns in their trivet collection, including triangles, hexagons, and other designs. The triangle pattern offers a bold, graphic aesthetic with angular lines, whilst patterns like hexagons provide a softer geometric look. All share the same practical silicone construction and heat resistance. Your choice depends purely on aesthetic preference—all perform identically in protecting surfaces from heat.
Silicone remains flexible across a wide temperature range, so the trivet won't crack if used cold. However, this trivet is designed for protecting surfaces from hot items rather than for insulating cold items. If you're placing a cold dish on the trivet, it will function fine, though condensation may form underneath on very cold items. The primary purpose is heat protection, not cold insulation.
Silicone naturally has good grip properties and tends to stay in place on most surfaces without slipping. The flat design and slight flexibility mean the trivet conforms to surface irregularities, enhancing stability. On very smooth surfaces like polished marble or glass, there may be minimal movement, but typically the silicone provides adequate friction to keep cookware stable during serving.
Zone Denmark produces the Triangles Trivet in several sizes to accommodate different cookware. This 16 x 14cm version suits smaller individual dishes. Larger sizes provide protection for bigger cookware. Contact us to confirm which sizes we currently stock, or check the product page for size variants if multiple options are shown.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Wash the trivet in warm, soapy water or run through the dishwasher to remove any manufacturing residue. Dry completely before using. This ensures the trivet is clean and ready for food contact.
Everyday use: Place the trivet on your table, worktop, or countertop before setting down hot cookware. Position it on a stable, flat surface. The lightweight 90g design means it's easy to move and position wherever needed. The heat resistance to 250°C handles most cookware fresh from the oven, hob, or stovetop.
Dishwasher cleaning: The trivet is dishwasher safe. Place it on any rack—the flexible silicone won't warp, degrade, or lose its shape from dishwasher heat. The graphic triangle pattern, whilst decorative, is moulded into the silicone rather than printed on, so it won't wash away or fade. The smooth silicone surface means food residue rinses away easily.
Handwashing: If you prefer handwashing, use warm soapy water and a cloth or soft sponge. The non-porous silicone cleans easily without scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Towel dry or allow to air dry—silicone dries quickly. The lightweight nature makes handling during washing particularly easy.
Removing stains: Whilst silicone is stain-resistant, strongly pigmented foods (turmeric, beetroot, certain sauces) may cause slight discolouration if left sitting on the trivet for extended periods. Prompt cleaning prevents this. For any slight discolouration, a paste of baking soda and water applied gently typically removes marks.
Storage: Store flat in a drawer or cupboard. The thin 0.9cm profile and light 90g weight mean it takes up minimal space and can be stored almost anywhere. You can stack multiple trivets together, layer with other kitchen textiles, or hang from a hook if preferred. The flexible silicone tolerates bending during storage without permanent deformation.
Temperature limits: The trivet protects surfaces from heat up to 250°C. Don't place extremely hot items exceeding this temperature directly on the trivet. Most domestic cookware operates well below this threshold, but items from very hot ovens (above 250°C) or directly from grill flames should cool slightly before placing on the trivet.
What to avoid: Don't use sharp knives or utensils directly on the trivet, as these may cut or damage the silicone. Don't place the trivet directly on open flames or heating elements. Don't use as a pot holder for gripping hot items—it's designed specifically for surface protection. Don't leave the trivet under extremely heavy cookware for extended storage periods, though it handles normal use without issue.
Coordinating with tableware: The graphic triangle pattern and available colour options allow creative table decoration. Many customers purchase multiple Zone Denmark trivets in coordinating patterns or colours to create cohesive tablescapes. The Scandinavian aesthetic pairs well with both minimalist white tableware and more colourful, eclectic collections.
Longevity: Silicone is exceptionally durable and maintains its properties through years of use. Unlike cork or wooden trivets that may deteriorate, silicone won't crack, split, or lose effectiveness over time. With proper care—avoiding sharp objects and extreme temperatures beyond its rating—this trivet should provide many years of reliable service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used the trivet on your table. We've offered this guarantee since 1972 because we believe customers shouldn't take a risk when purchasing homeware.
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage, cut, or tear the trivet, we'll replace it at half the current retail price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos of the damage are acceptable. This provides additional protection beyond typical product warranties for accidental damage.

Zone Denmark trivets are typically sold individually, allowing you to select your preferred patterns and colours. Many customers purchase multiple trivets in coordinating or contrasting designs to create personalised table settings. Contact us if you're interested in purchasing several trivets—we may be able to offer guidance on colour and pattern combinations.
Zone Denmark produces the Triangles Trivet in several colours. Specific colour availability varies by stock and season. Contact us to confirm which colours we currently have in stock, or check the colour selector on the product page if multiple options are shown. Popular colours often include neutral tones and accent colours that coordinate with Zone Denmark's broader homeware collection.
Silicone is naturally stain-resistant and non-porous. Typical food spills clean away easily without leaving marks. However, strongly pigmented foods like turmeric, beetroot, or tomato sauce left sitting on the trivet for extended periods may cause slight discolouration. Prompt cleaning after use prevents staining, and any slight marks that do develop typically don't affect function.
High-quality food-grade silicone like that used in Zone Denmark products is safe for food contact. Silicone is non-toxic, doesn't leach chemicals, and is approved for kitchen use. It won't transfer odours or flavours to food. The material is widely used in cooking utensils, bakeware, and food storage precisely because of its safety and stability.
Yes, the trivet functions identically outdoors as indoors. The lightweight 90g design makes it particularly portable for picnics or camping. It protects outdoor tables from hot barbecue items just as effectively as indoor surfaces. The silicone construction tolerates outdoor conditions without degradation. After outdoor use, simply wash in the dishwasher or by hand as normal.
No, the raised triangle pattern is shallow enough that cookware sits stably on the trivet. The pattern provides visual interest and potentially slight grip without creating an uneven surface. The flexible silicone also conforms slightly to the base of cookware, ensuring stable support. The pattern is a design feature rather than a functional drawback.
Silicone offers several advantages over traditional materials. Unlike cork or wood, silicone is dishwasher safe, doesn't absorb moisture or odours, won't crack or split over time, maintains heat resistance consistently, and cleans easily without special care. Traditional materials have aesthetic appeal and work well, but silicone provides modern convenience and durability. Your preference depends on whether you prioritise easy care (silicone) or traditional aesthetics (cork/wood).
