This tool is invaluable to anyone who cooks. It's the perfect place for your pot lids when they're hot and drippy.
I use this thing every time I cook. There's always some sort of lid or flat pan that goes on top of the Trivae when I need something out of my way. I currently am lamenting if it somehow breaks then how do I get a new one? Hopefully this place stays in business; these things are cool.
I think the design is good but mechanism is not smooth to use therefore I can give only three stars.
Hi Yoko,
Thank you so much for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that you're running into trouble operating your unit. Customers have said that it's easy once they get the hang of it, so there might be a small learning curve.
We're happy to provide some quick tips for operating the locking mechanism below, if you are still having some trouble:
- The easiest way is to operate one ring and one button at a time.
- Press the button for each ring towards the center of the spine and release the locking mechanism on that ring.
- It should then rotate freely until it locks again into any of the available positions.
- Then basically repeat the process for the other ring.
- The mechanism is spring loaded so if you unlock either of the rings, let the button go and rotate the ring, it'll spring back into a locked position as you rotate and it finds a groove to lock into.
The mechanism may also be a little stiff for the first few times you operate it, but it should smooth out with use.
Thanks again for your comments. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns, and we'd be happy to help you resolve them.
Trivae is my new go to gift for bridal showers and wedding gifts! Just gifted two special couples this month and will have a few more to gift next year. It’s such a unique gift and will last a very long time.
I found myself using my Trivae as a lid holder and a trivet. Since I needed to use the product simultaneously for each I ordered a second Trivae. Now I need to ask myself, do I need a third one? 😉
I love my Trivae! No longer do I have to put steaming lids on the counter, creating messes. I like how it folds compactly for storing and I have also used it as a trivet when entertaining. I have purchased more for Christmas gifts - I know my family will love them too!
I bought 4 of these thinking they would be a unique holiday gift for friends. We took one out of the box to try and it was instantly one of the best additions in our kitchen. It is now a permanent fixture beside the cooktop saving room on the counter for other work and removing any care a hot, steamy lid will roll to the floor. It is also quite handy in the "lid" position as a raised hot plate and we use it flat for hot cookie sheets coming out of the oven. The construction and design are well thought out and I have no regrets about spending the money.
I will be purchasing more!
I saw the Trivea advertised and watched the story of how it came to be. Being an avid home chef I recognized there was a void for holding hot, steamy pan lids. I was always searching for a place to put my lids down. I purchased three of them and use them all regularly. They are built incredibly well and when collapsed take up very little space. I use them also at the table is a trivet and also as a platform for drying my large wooden cutting boards. I would highly recommend the Trivae to anyone. They are excellent in every way. It’s very obvious the Trivae was very carefully thought out and engineered.
I purchased 5 in two separate orders. I gave the 1st one to a very good friend. Her husband and her are very good cooks. The were very excited to receive the gift. Amparito
Your product is awesome. Well made and has been saving my countertop during cooking. I like so much I purchased 2 more for gifts.
I love this gizmo! It holds the lid when I'm stirring, works as a hot-pot trivet, or holds a masterpiece up for admiring. I gave one to my sister, and she agrees: this is one tool you'll use every day in the kitchen.
Love this thing! Finally, a great place to rest a lid without carrying it to the sink. Well made and adjustable, to hold hot pans. Think I'll get another.
I live in 720 sq ft and have limited counter space and a bar size sink. I purchased the Trivae lid holder and trivet primarily for the lid holder. The lid holder works perfectly. I no longer am juggling where to put my hot lid as it can't go on the counter or sink. It also works well as a trivet and 'tray'. The best part from a tiny kitchen perspective is it folds up and fits in a small space. Great invention!! Thanks Trivae.
Given as a gift to a chef friend. Loved it!
I love my Trivae so much I did a video about it 😊
Having purchased my own a while back, I realize anyone who cooks could use this. I’ve gifted them for Christmas as well as an engagement gift. It makes life easier.
Recently, I purchased the Trivae versatile gadget which serves as a hot lid holder and trivet. It's very well made and doesn't take up much space on the counter. I bought a second one for my daughter!
It works exactly like they said it would. I am happy with the two I purchased. I’m thinking about getting more as gifts.
Very elegant and great for entertaining a meal at the dinner table.
I bought this for amazing husband who is always in the kitchen. He has used it at least once a day everyday since it arrived! This is the best kitchen helper! Thank you
Very well made & functional. It helps me keep the hot lids in place without any dripping or risking to get burns on my hands. This is the second trivet I bought. I love the bright red color.
I've always wished there was a product to put the lid upside down so water and mess wouldn't get all over the counter. Someone finally made it! Thank you!!
I absolutely love this! I especially love it for holding my kids on pots as you stir the pots. Great idea!
