What does TRIVET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small stand on which a hot pot or dish is placed.
In a kitchen a trivet protects the table or worktop from the heat of a pan fresh from the stove. Older trivets were three-legged iron stands that held a kettle or pot close to an open fire, and the three legs explain the name. Modern ones are often flat mats of cork, wood or metal, though the idea is the same: keep the heat away from the surface below.
