How to Properly Use Silicone Trivets

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Richard Humen

People initially think of safety issues when talking about silicone trivets because the material has already gained widespread media attention in the past in relation to banned medical procedures (which, by the way, refers to silicon  the base component of silicone). There is no need to worry, though, because the silicone used here and in other kitchenware is consisted of high-grade material that met the standards of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Nevertheless, like any material seen in every kitchen, there are precautionary measures that have to be strictly followed especially when extreme temperature is involved. Any damage and accident can definitely be avoided by following these simple usage tips for silicone trivets.

1. Place silicone trivets in stable surfaces

Because these trivets are soft and flexible, they tend to lose grip when placed on an unstable surface. This can cause your cookware to spill or create unbalanced shape when baking. Always check if the trivet is firmly placed on a surface before placing your pan.

One alternative is to purchase metal trivets that are coated with silicone, but because they have metal frames, they can never be used for other purposes like the Rhumen Quality Silicone Coaster Placemat that can be used as a trivet, potholder, coaster, hot pad or placemat.

2. Brush off stains on patterned trivets

Many silicone trivets have hole/dent designs. Normally, dirt is easily removed by warm water and soap, but if stains and leftover particles harden in the dents, they will need soaking or brushing. For practical reasons, brush them.

3. Toss the trivets in the dishwasher once in a while

Many manufacturers advise placing the trivets in the dishwasher together with the cookware after every use. They dry up easily anyway, so you can use them immediately after.

Static electricity builds in silicone trivets, so they are like dust magnets in your kitchen. Store them properly when not in use, preferably in drawers and cabinets (avoid hanging them in open air).

4. Never use them as replacement to a chopping board

Because silicone trivets, like the Rhumen Quality Silicone Coaster Placemat, are multipurpose, some people think that they can also be used as replacement to chopping boards. They are inarguably durable but they are not impervious to cuts. As a matter of fact, they are susceptible to cuts because of their softness.
Use them against heat but never against a knife.
5. Check the temperature specification of the trivet before using

FDA-approved silicone for kitchenware is made of 100|silicone, so they can withstand a maximum of 448 degrees Fahrenheit. Unfortunately, it is no secret that many brands sell silicone trivets with fillers that make them cheaper but weaker against heat. The good news is that those with fillers also often come with temperature specifications that you can follow.

If you already own one, stick to the guidelines provided. If you have yet to buy a trivet, make sure that you will get a 100 silicone material.

6. Bend and twist a new trivet to see if the coating is intact

Some brands of trivets are made of 100|silicone but their coatings are not as safe and intact as the primary material is. To check if the color coat does not break or leak to your food, bend and twist all sides repeatedly. The color should remain intact with no white marking showing up.
