Heat resistant table protectors

[Tentpeg]

Have just bought myself some heat resistant table protector and cut out a peice to fit the table. The plan is now to buy myself a nice peice of waxed table cloth to cover. I should be able now to put hot plates and mugs of tea etc on the table without worrying about mats now! (Would not trust ridiculously hot stuff but it will take the worst I hope).

That's a good idea - beats using the chopping board and teatowels!

I have silicone squares to put pots and pans on.... they are flexible so can be used to wrap around mugs to stop them clattering when in transit. I need to get one bigger one though am on the search.

Now you got it covered experiment on scrap piece of wood with offcuts to see how hot it can take

This stuff is proof to about 100 C so great for mugs of tea.. not great for roasting tins. However I have found some better deluxe stuff since that is proof to 250 C. Even better. however as I plan to put a table cloth on top of mine it should be fine.

No I do not use the silicone baking sheets aging hippy as they are too thin. I use things like these pictured on amazon. They wrap well around mugs and stop the rattling and are then ready to slip underneath your hot mug.

silicon pot mats

and for the table protector you can find examples on this website, although I bought mine from a shop, you just cut it to size.

Table protector up to 100 C

or this one that I discovered later

table protector to 250 C

I think the baking sheet looks really good, so I'm going to get one! Thanks for that.
