Pot stands or trivets, only provide enough space for standing a single hot pan or dish on, meaning additional stands are required if serving food from a variety of hot containers. The design of Stretch helps eliminate this, as its size can be easily adjusted to provide space for more than one pan or even a single large casserole dish. After use, it folds neatly away for convenient storage. Made from a high-quality silicone-nylon composite, it is heat resistant up to 340 ?C/640 ?F. Dishwasher safe.
