Hot Mats & Pot Holders

Shop Our Collection of Hot Mats and Pot Holders: Perfect for Safe Cooking and Baking

Hot mats and hot pot holders are the kitchen's silent companions and truly one of those necessary items every kitchen requires. Before getting to know the functionality and advantages of hot mats and pot holders, let’s understand the difference between them.

Most of the time, people tend to use these terms interchangeably but technically they are not the same. A hot mat is a piece of textile or material that is kept under hot utensils or dishes to protect surfaces from heat damage. They are often circular or square in shape and made of materials like cotton, cork, silicone, etc, which are good heat resistors. Thus, protecting your table surfaces while you carry on with your cooking.

A pot holder is a piece of textile or material that is used to cover hands when holding or carrying hot kitchenware from one place to another. It generally has some sort of a slit for your hands to go in.

Let’s also get a quick understanding of trivets. Trivets for dining tables serve a similar purpose as hot mats, but their intended use is more generic, to protect surfaces from scratches from utensils or cookware items, and not necessarily just to act as a heat protector. From protecting your dining table to adding a splash of colour and style, dining table hot pads can be really useful and impactful.

Whilst tri- means three, and -vet comes from -ped, meaning 'foot' / 'feet', trivets often have four 'feet', and some trivets, including many wooden trivets, have no 'feet' at all. A lot of Indian households also use tripods, i.e, a stand with three legs on which the hot utensil is kept.

It goes without saying that it's ideal to use the correct item for the correct type of function, especially when it comes to dealing with heated kitchenware.
