Not sure what it's called but used to cut down the heat on a stove by raising it off the burner.

That would be a "trivet", Ken...

I thought a trivet was a metal stand designed to protect the counter top from the heat of a pan. I always called the gadget that went over the burner to lower the heat a "heat diffuser"...neither one is a correct guess though.

Water does go through it, but not in that way.

An osmotic membrane in a water purifier?

It can be that, yes, but originally it was for protecting pots from direct heat. In fact, I think the original "trivet" was a metal tripod to hang a pot over a fire.

Here's a link to a modern trivet for cooking.

When this device is in use, the water is in liquid form and does indeed flow through the holes, but not in the bathroom or connected to a plumbed water source.

01/26/2012 09:06:40 PM · #1364

Is it used indoors or out? If indoors, in the kitchen?

01/26/2012 09:09:45 PM · #1365

It is used in the kitchen, yes.

01/26/2012 09:13:42 PM · #1366

Is it part of a coffee maker?

01/26/2012 09:24:08 PM · #1367

nothing to do with coffee

the holes themselves are quite small. less than 0.5mm in diameter

So this thing is small, less than 60mm in overall diameter?

The perforated thingie that goes in the end of a faucet to conserve water and soften the flow?

Part of a device for sprinkling water to dampen something?
