Cover Story
Right as a trivet, goes the old saying, and in days of yore, most housewives probably would have agreed. Wrought-iron fireplaces trivets, like long handled tongs, toasters, forks, and frying pans, played a central role in hearthside cooking. Even if the rough stones beneath lay uneven, the trivet's three long, spider-like legs could support kettles of simmering soups and sauses squarely above the live coals.
