You can use Q's Inn Silicone Trivets as pot holders, but there's a bit to keep in mind. They can handle high temperatures—up to 440°F according to the manufacturer—so they're pretty versatile for various kitchen tasks.
From what we found, these mats are great at protecting your counters and tables from heat, thanks to their durable silicone material, which doesn't absorb odors and holds up well over time. They've got a neat honeycomb pattern that helps with grip, making them useful in different scenarios.
Just a heads-up: that same pattern can trap water, so drying them after washing might take some extra effort.
Now, about using them as pot holders: our research shows opinions are kind of mixed. Some folks find them a bit bulky and stiff, which might make gripping pots and pans a tad awkward compared to softer, more flexible oven mitts. So, while they're safe to use for holding hot cookware, they might not give you the best grip for more delicate tasks.
As trivets, though, they really do a great job. They protect your surfaces from heat and can handle the oven, microwave, and dishwasher, which is super convenient.
Just be aware that some folks mentioned potential discoloration over time, but it doesn't seem to affect their heat resistance.
In short, if you're looking for pot holders, these could work if you need them to. But where they really shine is in safeguarding your surfaces from heat. They're a solid pick for anyone wanting multi-functional and sturdy kitchen gear.
