Lodge L8DOT3 Meat Rack Trivet

This trivet has an 8-inch diameter. It is designed to fit most standard Dutch ovens, but you should measure the interior base of your pot to ensure it sits flat without riding up the curved sides.

Yes, it is a versatile tool. Beyond elevating roasts, it works perfectly as a heat-resistant trivet to protect your countertops or dining table from hot pans and serving dishes.

While the manufacturer lists it as dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately to maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, which is standard practice for cast iron cookware.

By elevating your meat, the rack allows hot air to circulate underneath the food. This promotes more even cooking and helps prevent the bottom of your roast from scorching or boiling in its own juices.

It comes pre-seasoned from the factory, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, like all cast iron, it will benefit from a light coating of oil after cleaning to keep it in top condition.
