Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
This silicone countertop cover offers a resting spot for hot pots to keep Formica or Corian safe from melting or blistering. However, it also protects counterops from scratches; prevents mixing bowls and cutting boards from sliding during use; and functions as a pot holder, jar opener, and garlic peeler.

Measuring 11-1/2 by 11-1/2 inches square, this trivet provides a large surface area that can fully cover the bottoms of most round or square casserole dishes. The silicone material is heat-resistant to 675 degrees Fahrenheit so heat won’t transfer through the cover and a patterned surface keeps the trivet from slipping or sliding on any counter surface.

This counter cover is flexible enough to roll up and store compactly in a drawer or has a hole in one corner to hang from a hook. This product is dishwasher-safe.--Cristina Vaamonde

Big HotSpot Silicone Counter Cover
I can't image not having this in my kitchen. It is great to take things off the stove or out of the oven and not worry about damaging the countertops. Just place the hot item directly on the silicone cover.

Holds up to a super hot cast iron skillet
I bought this silicone mat because I had been using kitchen towels, folded over, to place hot dishes, pans and skillets on when removing them from the microwave, oven or stove. Then, I'd wash my hands and go to dry them, only to find that all my towels were underneath hot pans! I clearly needed something else to place hot dishes on.

Enter, the Big HotSpot silicone counter mat! Dearest Husband was skeptical when I bought it.... after all, why spend more money on something when we had been using kitchen towels to do the same thing? (He prefers to dry his hands on paper towels, so he didn't have the "no towel available" problem I had.) When I invited him to place the super hot cast iron skillet on the silicone pad, he did so doubtfully, thinking the mat was going to melt right under that skillet.

To his surprise, it didn't melt, and when he lifted the mat to feel the granite countertop underneath, he found that none of the heat had gotten through the silicone mat to the countertop below. Perfect! He's now glad that I purchased this item, and I'm going to buy more of these to have on hand for "Baking Day".

Regarding the color, I have this silicone mat in clear, which isn't really clear, but I knew that when I bought it, thanks to another review here. It's more like frosted white... not opaque white, but translucent white.

Works great but color is a little off
It works just fine -- protects my granite countertop from the heat of a pan or baking sheet hot from the stove. But it isn't really clear; it looks more like frosted glass. I would have chosen a different color had I known that it wasn't really clear.
