Kaaterskill Market Pine Needle Trivet

Pine needles are naturally dense and fibrous, making them surprisingly effective at insulating surfaces from hot pots and pans. While they provide a reliable barrier for standard cookware, we recommend using caution with extremely high-heat cast iron straight from a burner.

Because this is a natural, woven fiber product, it should not be submerged in water or put in the dishwasher. Simply spot clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before using it again.

The loop is designed for both storage and display. The intricate, woven texture makes it a great piece of wall art, so feel free to hang it in your kitchen or dining area when it is not protecting your table.

Yes, pine needle weaving is a traditional craft known for its durability. With proper care—keeping it dry and avoiding heavy, sharp-edged cookware—this trivet is built to withstand regular use in a busy kitchen.

Fair trade certification ensures that the artisans in Guatemala who hand-stitch these trivets are paid fair wages and work in safe conditions. It guarantees that your purchase directly supports the livelihoods of the craftspeople who created the item.
