Where do you put down a glowing hot dutch oven when you lift it off the kamado? The cast iron trivet from Valhal Outdoor is made exactly for that. It weighs a kilo, so it stands stable on your table or worktop and keeps the heat away from the surface underneath. Unlike cork or wood, cast iron can't scorch or melt, so you don't have to guess whether something has cooled down enough before setting it down.
Why a cast iron trivet next to your kamado
Cooking outdoors means heavy pans and high temperatures. A skillet fresh off the grate is easily above two hundred degrees. A solid stand absorbs that without warping.
- Protects garden table, worktop and kamado side shelf from heat and grease
- Stays put thanks to its one-kilo weight
- Suited to dutch ovens, skillets, saucepans and hot grates
- Cast iron doesn't warp and lasts for years with normal use
- Usable while camping, by the fire bowl and simply in the kitchen
How to use it
Have the trivet ready before you take the pan off the fire, so you're not searching for it with your hands full. Place it on a flat surface. On a delicate surface such as a lacquered table, it's best to put a cloth or wooden board underneath, because the cast iron itself also gets hot.
Maintenance
Rinse it with warm water, dry it straight away and rub it lightly with a neutral oil if you're storing it for a while. Cast iron rusts with moisture, so never leave it wet outdoors.
