Rectangular silicone trivet mats are elongated, heat-resistant kitchen tools designed to protect countertops, tables, or stovetops from hot cookware, leveraging the practical shape of a rectangle to accommodate longer or larger items like baking sheets, roasting pans, or Dutch ovens. Crafted from high-quality, food-grade silicone, these mats are BPA-free, non-toxic, and compliant with international standards such as LFGB, FDA, and REACH, ensuring safety for contact with hot items and food. The rectangular shape provides ample surface area—typically ranging from 8x12 inches to 12x18 inches—making them ideal for larger cookware or multiple smaller items placed side by side, such as a pot and a pan. Made from heat-resistant silicone, they can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (450°F) or higher, preventing heat transfer to surfaces below and protecting against burns, discoloration, or damage. The top surface often features a textured design (ridges, dots, or grids) that enhances grip for cookware, reducing slipping, while the bottom may be smooth or include non-slip patterns to keep the mat itself in place. Rectangular silicone trivet mats are flexible yet durable, allowing for easy rolling or folding when not in use, saving storage space. They are dishwasher-safe for convenient cleaning, with their non-porous surface resisting stains, food buildup, and odor absorption. Available in various colors, they can also serve as decorative elements in the kitchen, complementing other silicone tools or kitchen decor. Whether for home use, catering, or commercial kitchens, rectangular silicone trivet mats offer a practical, versatile solution that combines heat protection, functionality, and convenience, ensuring surfaces remain unharmed while handling hot cookware.
