10 Best Trivets UK 2024 | Robert Welch, Sungmor and More

This four-piece bamboo trivet set from Efbock is a dinner-stopping deal at well under £20 for the set. With two circular and two square sizes, there should be no pot, pan or dish that these trivets won't handle. 

The bamboo grain really shines through the varnish, bringing natural and earthy tones that will undoubtedly complement any modern home's dining table and kitchen. The protective feet give it anti-slip properties while keeping your surfaces protected, too. Oh, and did we mention how affordable it is? Simply and naturally, it's a winner! 

Synonymous with producing English stainless steel of the highest quality, Robert Welch has been leading the way in stylish, high-functioning kitchenware for over 50 years. This is their signature stainless steel trivet that's been constructed only from the best quality materials. 

The contemporary design is complimented perfectly by an ultra-shine finish that gives the trivet a modern stamp of authority. It isn't all about style though, as it includes protective feet and a high-grade silicone mat to keep the heat transfer to a minimum. A truly top-shelf trivet which the prices reflects.

A modern take on the trivet, this extending option from Joseph Joseph looks the part while remaining highly functional. The extending aspect gives you the power to perfectly pair the length with the size of your dish. This allows for a sleek, minimal trivet to blend inconspicuously into the dining table's decor. 

Another noteworthy feature is that it is dishwasher safe, adding to its practical nature. Once its work for the night is done, it'll also fold down to a nice and neat size to fit in a draw or tuck into a corner of the kitchen. A remarkable trivet for the future.

This owl-shaped trivet from Sungmor is an ode to the vintage trivets of the past while also somehow feeling contemporary too. The cast iron has been dipped in an anti-rust coating, ensuring that this owl isn't going anywhere.

This pair of bamboo trivets from Totally Bamboo are aesthetically pleasing while remaining functional. Being made from bamboo ensures these are a very durable pair of trivets that will not deform. 

They come with solid protective feet, giving good anti-slip properties while keeping your table mark-free. At 20 cm in diameter and length, they have ample surface space for just about any pot, pan or serving dish. Unfortunately, you will have to pay for such quality, as they're the most expensive trivets on this list. 

Without a doubt the most practical set of trivets on this list, this five-pack of multicoloured trivets from Giftorld is both affordable and effective. Coming in at a couple of pounds apiece, it's the cheapest trivet set with the most pieces to boot. 

Giftorld have stated they are the perfect kitchen accompaniment for not only serving your surfaces and table but also as potholders, spoon rests, coasters, jam openers, and well, you get the idea. Being dishwasher safe also adds to their practical prowess. Their only downside is that they aren't exactly oozing with style. 

Red seems to be a running trend in the cast iron trivet trade and this vibrant offering from Argos is no exception. Unlike the burgundy above, this red really does pop with a certain glorious tone. 

Also, its design is a lot more modern, and with less going on you can really notice the four striking hearts and central flower. Thanks to the update of solid rubber non-slip feet, it'll also remain put while eliminating the risk of tiny trivet feet marks.

Next up, a unique set of three silicone trivets that have been styled to look like the cast iron trivets of the past. Each even has its own particular design, so this is surely a three-piece that's been thoughtfully put together. 

Being silicone also means they're safe for the dishwasher, making them a solid option for families wanting the practical side of silicone with the flair of cast iron. The only point of concern is that Iphox have stated they can also be used as potholders, but with so many holes intertwined into the design, we'd be careful doing so.

This stainless steel trivet from IKEA is 50 cm in length, making it the longest trivet on this list. This extra length makes it capable of fitting multiple pans, lending itself to being a handy go-to trivet next to the hobs.

The four protective rubber feet allow for a scratch-free surface while also eliminating any chance of the trivet and your dinner ending up on the floor. Its only downside is it will need to be assembled, which may be a dealbreaker for some.

This is a classic cast iron trivet with a very intricately-woven design. The deep burgundy colour gives off a real sense of years past, with a rich texture that is anything but plain and modern.

Being large and heavily-set, this is a trivet designed to be a centrepiece of the family dining table. You could imagine the roast being proudly placed on top of it with applause from the table following on cue. Unfortunately, though, there's no mention of protective feet.
