Our review
The Le Creuset magnetic wooden trivet is a small, premium piece of design that solves a genuinely annoying problem — 4.8 stars from reviewers who clearly love it. A normal trivet means juggling two separate things: the scorching pot in your hands and a trivet that slides around the table. This one has magnets embedded in beautiful acacia wood, so it snaps straight onto the magnetic base of your cast-iron or enamelled cookware and stays attached — you carry the hot pot and its trivet to the table as a single unit, set it down, and the black silicone rings grip the surface and protect it from heat. It's a clever, giftable upgrade from a brand known for premium cookware, and it looks the part on a table or hanging in the kitchen.
Honest expectations: this is the premium pick, and it's priced like it — at around fifty dollars it's a treat or a gift rather than a bargain-bin trivet. The magnet works best with magnetic cookware (cast iron and enamelled cast iron like Le Creuset's own); fully non-magnetic pots won't cling, so it's at its best in a cast-iron kitchen. The acacia wood should be hand-washed and occasionally oiled to keep it looking its best rather than left to soak. For anyone who cooks with heavy cast iron and wants a trivet that travels with the pot and looks beautiful doing it, though, it's a small luxury that earns its place.
