A trivet is an object placed between a serving dish, bowl, pot, or pan and a dining table, usually to protect the table from heat damage. The word trivet refers to three feet, but the term is sometimes used in British English to refer to trivets with four feet or even no feet at all. Trivet can also refer to a tripod used to elevate pots from the coals of an open fire (the word trivet itself ultimately comes from Latin tripes meaning “tripod”). Metal trivets are often tripod-like structures with three legs to support the trivet horizontally, in order to hold the dish or pot above the table surface completely. These are often included with modern non-electric pressure cookers. A trivet may often contain a receptacle for a candle that can be lit to keep food warm. A three-legged design can reduce wobbling on uneven surfaces. Modern trivets are made from metal, wood, ceramic, fabric, silicone or cork. When roasting any meat in an oven, trivet racks (which typically fit into roasting pans) are often used to enable the meat joint to be held above the direct heat of the roasting pan and allow the juices of the joint to drip into the roasting pan for the subsequent making of gravy. The term trivet has also entered the lexicon as an organic structure made of freshly cut carrot, celery, and onion. This not only raises the meat but has the further advantage of providing aromatics to the meat as well as a gravy-friendly liquid when the vegetables and juices are sieved at the end of cooking. Metal trivets have been in use since antiquity, and are sometimes referred to as “fire stands.” In the tomb of the Chinese ruler Zhao Mo (2nd Century BC) were found several metal trivets that had been used by him during his lifetime, now stored at the Museum of the Mausoleum of the Nanyue King. The remains of what was likely a fire stand used by ancient Mesopotamians was partially unearthed at an archaeological dig in Iran that dated to nearly 3000 BC, indicating their importance going back likely as early as the regular large-scale use of fire for more than mere protection and warmth.
