Has anyone used these cork trivets when placing hot items on a wooden table? i.e. dutch oven from oven to table.

I have used these to put hot items on a wooden table. But not a dutch oven from oven to table. I have put heavy hot large saucepan from stovetop to table. The trivets hold up well and the table is good.

I don't have a dutch oven but the trivets have insulated well all my heavy pots and pans from the stovetop. Definitely sturdier construction than the Ikea ones that I was replacing.

I'd use two (one atop the other) when putting a large hot item on the table.

Hi Heidi, did you ever try this? I was wondering the same thing one doesn't seem to hold the corkboard....thanks

My experience is that they were only useful for mildly warm handles. Definitely not oven safe! I ended up purchasing some Le Creuset brand that are far superior but not oven safe either.

Yes so far as know Ive placed hot pans on these no problem, I bought two which I use typically for this purpose

What were you doing with them? We use ours when adding wood to a burning fire or while using the poker to stir up the embers. We don't leave them in the fire for any length of time. Hope no one got hurt.

I have used it several times and they are great. I also used it in the oven when I re-heat my steaks etc... Just make sure you don't exceed 500 degrees. It is a great product!

You keep food warm but these are not like a Dutch Oven. I wouldn't try to bake something in them. Stove top is obviously great but not in the oven at high temps.

Unless the handle is heated in the oven...as with all handles...these handles will be cool to the touch while cooking on the stovetop. You will love this cookware style!!

I have not and wouldn't because the handles would come in contact with the edge of your hot pan. Use an inexpensive collapsible steamer basket instead.

Never a stupid question!! I haven't used them in the oven, but the tops can go on while the food is pipping hot, I would use tin foil in such applications anyway. The reflection of heat from foil would create a wonderful toasty crust to most food.

I see what you mean and I assume it's normal as my oven's feet are the same. I have no problem having it on an old wooden table. It never has marked the table top or shown any scorch marks. This is a very well-insulated little oven, and only the glass front and the top surface get hot enough to be careful of. When I first got it, I checked out possible heat transfer from the oven bottom and there was none which is why I feel safe in using the wooden table for it.

These shelves are very sturdy and well made. I would think that if you have the oven on a wood bureau, these shelves could withstand the small amount of heat that you are suggesting. However, you may want to contact the manufacturer, just to be sure.

I love using these enamelware pans in the oven but not on the stove top. The bottoms are too thin which of course, is an advantage in the oven but not on top of the burners. Use mine for stew and baked beans, scalloped potatoes, etc and then pop on the lid and store the leftovers in the refrigerator.

I don't know. I don't know why it would be a problem. The dutch oven is heavy, but I think as long as you are careful, it doesn't matter that the cook top is glass. Maybe there is something about glass stove tops in the literature that comes with the product, or maybe with the glass top stove.

I use my set on a ceramic top stove and they're fine. I find the saucepans are very flat so there is little rotational problems, some skillets are fine but there is slightly more rotation on the flat burner but it hasn't been a problem for me. I've never noticed a heat distribution problem in either the saucepans or skillets. All in all, I highly recommend this set.

I take food straight out of the oven and set it right on them. I have had no problems at all i use them for everything. I just love them i have two sets

No, the handles do not get hot on the saucepans and the saute frying pans. But, the short handles on the dutch oven do get hot. But, I've never used a dutch oven whose handles didn't get hot.
