What can I buy to put underneath a hot pan/pot that has just been removed from the hob if example I wanted to move the pan/pot onto a table?

I'm thinking regular over gloves probably work, since they do a decent job of insulating your hands from the heat. But I'm looking for something flat and sturdy.

For the table one of these Le Creuset Cool Tools and for worktops a regular trivet in a design that takes your fancy: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Le-Creuset-C...eywords=trivet

For a permanent solution on kitchen worktops buy a set of these self adhesive rods: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Worktop-Hot-...eywords=trivet

Trivets.
Either metal or silicone.
Silicone are obviously lighter to handle and easier to store and clean.

I have 2 types [ got 2 of each design ] ...... that I bought some time ago from *Ikea*
2 pairs are quite large in area and made from multiple attached -slim steel rods-
&
2 smaller ones made from steel with spaces to spell out the word HOT
made into the design ........... on the part that you place a hot item

I think* joseph joseph * sell some made of
colourful silicons - that can be folded away when not in use

*Lakeland* must have some modern trivets too

here is one of their fold up ones

I have some round cork worktop savers, they are really cheap from Dunelm.
They are so light that you can just pop them in a drawer when not in use. Totally heatproof.
