Once you are done cooking, the hot cookware is then placed on this pad thing that prevents the heat from burning the counter top. What is this pad thing called?
or a hot pad! (in the case where it looks more like a pot holder...)GB said:It is called a trivet.

GB said:I think Trivets are generally made out of hard material (wood, metal, glass, etc.) while potholders are made out of cloth and soft materials. Of course there are exceptions. The trivets I use double as potholders and are made of silicone.
