I made coasters with mine and I do put hot coffee/tea on it from time to time, no wear or tear on them yet and we've had them for almost two years.

I do not think it is meant to be used as a TRIVET. The silicone sides may also be one of the reasons. Maybe you can set a hot stainless steel skillet on it. BUT I personally would NOT do so, let alone, use it for grilling or oven. It is just a cutting board - the OXO website states it can also be used for carving meat.

The final product is not heat-proof. Hot pots need to be placed on hot pads or trivets and not directly on the counter.

I purchased this for my daughter, primarily for extra serving space on her counter, and to keep from accidentally turning the knobs on. Don't think I would set a hot plate on it though.

It will withstand a coffee mug, but not a hot pot straight off the stove or hot pan straight out of the oven. For items that hot I would consider ceramic hot plates. You can buy glazes at any craft store which you can apply and bake onto ceramic items in your own oven. Just beware of dripping glaze. I recommend place aluminum foil pans under the glazed item.

They are rather large to be used as coasters (roughly 6" square), but I suppose you could. We use them for post/pans/containers direct from the microwave. So hot stuff. Cork sort of naturally repels liquid - that's why they use it to seal wine bottles. The trivets are really good quality and sturdy.

I got this item for traveling for our dog, because it folds flat for the glove compartment etc. I think you could serve hot items in it with no problems, if camping for instance. But not boiling hot items.

I would not do so. Although it is silicone, it is not very similar to the silicone my trivets are made from, I would be afraid it might deform. That said, if that is all you want is a huge trivet ...

I don't believe so, as this is not the intended use. I don't believe it would work for that purpose anyway because the silicone gets just as hot as the surface it comes in contact with.

I used my mold to make soap so you certainly can use it for chocolate (Soap gets hotter), it's silicone so it can hold hot temps. ALso each piece is approx 2 inches tall or wide (face) and about 1/2 inch deep. Hope this helps!

I would assume so. It has a temperature control. We use it for hot fudge and caramel.

I don't know since I have not placed anything very cold or hot. I would imagine that cold is not a problem but that hot might be. I would used coasters. The pull out drawer also has a little cover that can be used to set items on. It appears to be painted and probably has greater tolerance to heat.

I don't see why not. You might want to put a "rack" under it though just to put some space between the heat source and the Laurel. I've used it in the oven in a covered roasting pan, and also put it in the dishwasher on the "pots & pans" cycle, which gets pretty hot, and it didn't melt.

I would not put a plate straight from the oven onto the placemat. They are made of plastic and would melt. I think a glass, metal or wooden trivet is whatyou would need.

Of course! Though, if the top tier is not being used there will still be a round connector notch in the top center of the 3rd tier. However, if using it for cupcakes, just place them all around, and no one would even notice. If an 8" cake is to be used on top, just remember the notch is there when cutting! :)

Hi Mohamed. We used it for hot chocolate. It stayed very warm for 30 mins. It fell apart after 3 uses.

this is not anything you would bake, it is used to keep items from rolling off/out of a space and break. I have used this for art glass pieces that sit on one another and virtually do not move or slip.
