KooMall 12 10 8 Inch Multi-use Microwave Mat, Trivet, Pot Holders, Drying, Baking, Place Mat, Utensils Rest, Silicone Cover Pad for Hot Pot Pans Bowls Plates Dishes Kitchen Counter, Heat Resistant,Red

I chose the blue, the package let me know the multiple uses including one I hadn't thought of. It can be a trivet to set hot food on so you don't damage the counter or table you set hot things on, but I have an electric frying pan that would sit above a table, however, the heating element is on the bottom. I put the large one on the table below it while serving as a buffet (keeping the food warm) to protect the wood of my table from the heat.so in conclusion, very versatile, true to description. dishwasher safe, and you can put airfry baskets on them as trivets too!

These silicone circles are very thin but do the job well . They can be used as pot holders, trivets, microwave liners, or to put under a garden pot. I am sure there are many more uses besides these. I use them to put hot dishes on when I take them out of the oven.

Size and flexibility

I had high hopes that these colorful silicone mats would be useful in my busy kitchen. What I didn’t know was how handy they would be for several daily tasks. These mats are the perfect thickness to be handled easily when lifting hot bowls from the microwave or oven, they are flexible and very sturdy. Occasional boil overs in the microwave are much easier to deal with now and I don’t have to worry about handling the hot glass microwave tray anymore. Keeping the largest mat on top of the microwave tray at all times is simple enough and even somewhat decorative. Any splatters wipe off the surface of the silicone very easily, much easier than wiping them off the glass tray like I used to do. A bonus is that a large hot bowl or plate can be lifted out of the microwave using the silicone mat by gripping the edges of the dish with the mat directly. Neither my husband nor I have been burned by employing this method, unlike we have when using fabric potholders and oven mitts. The corrugated underside of the mat provides a secure grip. The only time the surface of these mats get hot is when they are used as bowl covers on very hot food. They will form a temporary seal that releases steam only when removed, so be careful there. Food also takes less time to get to the preferred temperature, so reducing the selected cooking time may be necessary to prevent overheating. Liquids are especially prone to boiling over when using one of the silicone disks as a lid.These mats have many uses — for gripping and opening tight jar and bottle lids, serving as a spoon and utensil rest when making recipes, using as a trivet or coaster to protect your tabletop or protect a hot glass cup or bowl from a cold countertop, as a hand washed dish dryer when the corrugated side faces up, and more. I like mine so much that last week I sent a set to my son and daughter-in-law for use in their kitchen — in a color that will work with their decor. They are already amazed by the versatility.Overall, I guess you can tell that I am extremely pleased with my purchase and I expect to get years of practical use from them! 🥰

Had these for many years and my old Microwave broke and I mistakenly left these in the oven when I threw it out. Couldn't do without them so I ordered brand new ones. They are necessary, to keep your oven clean and to pick up any hot plate when finished. Try it, you'll like it !

We keep the large one in the microwave. After you heat up a bowl of soup or something, we use it to pick up the bowl. It keeps you from burning your fingers, plus it also gives you an enhanced grip on it.We use the smaller ones as covers in case something my bubble or splash in the microwave during cooking.They work great, and I would definitely buy them again.

Whether using these as a hot pad or as a trivet, these are handy and take little storage space.

Works great as a microwave mat and splatter guard. Very useful.
