Cilio Virgin Wool Trivet

Virgin wool is naturally heat-resistant and dense, making it an excellent barrier for standard hot pots and pans. While it protects surfaces from direct contact with heat, it is best suited for cookware straight from the stovetop or oven rather than extremely high-heat cast iron left directly on the trivet for extended periods.

Because it is made from natural wool, the trivet is washable. We recommend hand washing with a gentle wool-safe detergent and cool water, then reshaping it while damp and laying it flat to air dry.

Yes, the natural texture and density of the felted wool provide a good grip on most surfaces, including stone, wood, and laminate, preventing it from sliding around while you set down hot cookware.

This certification ensures that the artisans in Nepal who handcraft these trivets are paid fair wages, work in safe conditions, and that the production process supports sustainable community development.

An 8-inch diameter is the standard size for most everyday saucepans, skillets, and serving dishes. It provides a stable base for most medium-sized cookware, though you may need two side-by-side for very large roasting pans or oversized Dutch ovens.
