There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I was pleased with the weight and quality of the item. If it was any heavier, it would be too much for ordinary trivet use.
If you're looking for something to use as a weight, this may not do it.
The item measures 3/16" thick x 8"dia. Prolly weighs about a pound.
One side(what I would call "the flip side") is flat with unfinished (sharp) edges. The other side(what I would call "the good side") has beveled edges, some quaint lettering and 3 raised feet(about 1/8"high 1/4"dia). So, if you put the feet side down, they create an insulating air space so your hot pots don't damage your counter. That's good. The feet also protect the counter to some degree from scratches, as they prevent the entire cast iron surface from making contact with whatever you put it on. Keep in mind, they are made of cast iron, which is harder than many tables and counter surfaces. Fine.
Problems? You be the judge. If you actually USE the trivet, it's feet down and therefore "good side" down. You're looking at the flip side all the time. Of course, you'll only notice this when you DON'T have a pot on it. Does it matter? Who knows. Not to me anyway.
Which brings us to the other "problem". If you use this item for "show", you'll want to display it with "the good side" up. If you do this, there are no feet which provide the aforementioned air space and the entire unfinished cast iron surface makes contact with whatever you place it on. I guess what I'm saying is, it would be nicer if the feet were on the other side.
I've been thinking of getting some cork stickies to improve the scratch factor. I have Corian tops, which are basically plastic and scratch easily. If you have granite, you're good. But, if you have granite, you DON'T NEED TRIVETS AT ALL.
UPDATE: It occurs to me that this item is probably made primarily for cooking on a stove top rather than as a table or counter insulator. The cast iron construction makes it perfectly suited for the task. When placed on a glass cooktop "good" side down, the feet will provide a small air space between the heat source and the pot. The holes and the bevels aid in equal distribution of heat. The "flip" side faces up and provides a smooth surface for a pot to make continuous contact with the product. The end result is a device to attenuate the often excessive heat produced by an electric stove with a glass cooktop.
OUT OF BOX CONDITION: for those new to Lodge their pre-seasoning sucks. It is basic and crude, can't really build a decent seasoning on top of it, and only pre-season their iron in order to prevent rusting during shipping and storage. However once you strip away their cheap seasoning you start to notice actual rust spots either covered at the factory or building up since it left the warehouse. that is why Lodge cast is so cheap, in addition to their rough sand-cast texture. However, if you know how to build a new layer of pre-seasoning and maintain it properly (very important) they are great affordable cookware and will last a lifetime, literally.
DIY FINISHING AND RESEASONING: i stripped both trivets using Easy-Off oven cleaner a couple of rounds (let soak in the foam overnight, wipe dry, that's one round - see first pics). There was rust hiding under the factory seasoning on the edge of one of them where the raw iron was exposed when ground at the factory (see pic). However the grinder missed a noticeable round pointy burr on the edge of the other trivet that was dangerous and almost cut my finger (see pic). i ground down all edge surfaces super smooth using a dremel oxide grinding stone, pointy burr gone! I also wanted a smoother finish to prevent unnecessary abrasions on other cookware so i used a drill disc sander with 80, 120 and 240 grit discs on both sides. This sanding didn't eliminate the pock marks and minor divets but it did smooth out the factory sand texture a lot. This sanding also helped eliminate almost all the residual factory seasoning. Once the raw iron was washed cleaned and dried i baked on 4 layers of new seasoning using coconut oil, gave the trivets had a nice dark bronze hue once finished (see pics).
COOKING PERFORMANCE: i used the trivets on gas burners as heat diffusers to dissipate hot spots when using other cast iron pans and grills. copper diffusers are better but way too expensive. The trivets work great underneath my Lodge griddle/ grill over both burners. While they don't reduce hot-spots altogether they do help even out the browning when making pancakes on the griddle side. I also found they help reduce overheating and burning as well. But i found they are essential when heating a Moka pot of coffee on a gas stove. Before, over a raw burner, the Moka pot takes 7 min to heat up but the coffee but sometimes has a slight burned taste and the coffee would shoot out of the vent holes too quickly. With the diffuser on same heat setting the coffee takes 10 min to heat up, but doesnt burn and slowly oozes and bubbles out of the Moka vents evenly so its less messy to check progress. So much better, plus offers an even surface for the pot to rest on (see pic).
PROS: once re-seasoned properly they do diffuse heat effectively on a gas burner. excellent diameter, cover an entire standard burner. good overall design, heat distributes evenly to edges for the most part because of holes. price is amazing. Trivet feet also help "hook" onto burner grills and prevent them from sliding around.
CONS: they take a while to heat up effectively, and consequently add time to your cast iron pan or griddle warm up times to get them up to temp. The factory finish really sucks, hides rust spots and has random rough edges that could be dangerous when handling. Finish gets discolored over time, especially in centers due to exposure to raw gas flame and direct heat.
OVERALL: for they price they are a no-brainer as a basic heat diffuser, especially for using Moka pots on a gas flame burner. Just learn how to strip, re-season and maintain cast iron before you buy. And if you got the tools and time grind and sand them smooth, please!
