Heat Resistant Counter Protector Mat 17in x 20in - 2 Pack

In this review the reviewer finds the Metal, Heat Resistant, Non-Slip Counter/Table Protector Mat is a practical solution for anyone who routinely places hot appliances or pans on kitchen surfaces. The single biggest reason to buy is straightforward: these extra large mats combine a heat-resistant metal top with a rubber backing so they protect countertops and extend usable work area in tight kitchens, RVs, or buffet setups. For readers after a simple, easy-to-clean surface protector, this product review explains how the 17in x 20in size and set-of-two format perform in everyday use.

Key Features

• Heat protection: The metal surface lets you set hot pans and heated appliances directly on the mat without transferring heat to the counter beneath.
• Non-slip backing: The rubber backing keeps the mat firmly in place under heavy appliances like air fryers and deep fryers to prevent sliding.
• Extra large size: Each mat measures 17in x 20in, providing a generous footprint for larger appliances or for creating extra prep space on cooled cooktops in RVs.
• Set of two: Receiving two identical mats makes it convenient to protect multiple appliances at once or to place one in the kitchen and another in an RV or buffet area.
• Easy care: The matte black finish wipes clean easily, matching many kitchen decors while resisting visible stains and spills.
• Decor accents: Copper color accents lift the aesthetic so the mats complement granite, wood, and glass surfaces instead of looking purely utilitarian.

Who It's For

These mats are best for homeowners, RVers, and anyone who uses countertop appliances that give off heat, including air fryers, crock pots, toaster ovens, and coffee equipment. The extra large 17in x 20in size accommodates deep fryers and larger appliances while the non-slip rubber backing helps keep heavy units stable during use.

Shoppers who need a decorative trivet for oven-to-table service or a small decorative coaster should look elsewhere, since these mats are designed for heat protection and appliance use rather than as fine dining placemats. If you require a cloth or fabric trivet that folds for storage, this rigid metal option will not meet that need.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Provides reliable surface protection from heat for a wide range of electric appliances.
• Generous 17in x 20in size covers large appliances and creates extra counter space in RVs.
• Rubber backing prevents slipping and helps protect delicate surfaces like granite and glass.
• Set of two adds value and flexibility for multiple appliance setups.

Cons

• The rigid metal surface is not foldable, so it requires flat storage space when not in use.
• The matte black finish and copper accents may show scratches over very long use if metal cookware is dragged across the surface.

Specifications
