Description:
Some kitchen tools are simply tools.
Others feel like they carry a story.
Looking for something that protects your surfaces but still feels beautiful enough to leave out on the bench?
This handcrafted wooden hot plate does exactly that. Made from a mix of natural timbers and finished with a food safe oil, each piece highlights the unique colours and grain of the wood. No two are ever the same.
It’s strong enough for sizzling pans and fresh-from-the-oven dishes, yet warm and timeless enough to feel like part of your kitchen, not something you hide away.
Form and function, made slowly and made with care. A practical piece you’ll reach for every day.
