First of all - it's Lodge. It's cast iron. It's American. These are all good things.
But I had to chuckle at a couple of the applications the other reviewers had for this handy little item. This isn't one of the first kitchen implements that you might put on your wish list, but it's surprisingly versatile.
Yes, you can put it in the bottom of your dutch oven, put your meat on top and let the fat drain. Yes, it's obviously a trivet. But I've also used it as a meat press - yeah, Lodge makes a couple of presses, and one of these days... but in the meantime, flip at upside down on your bacon and it works fine.
I've also used it as a grilled sandwich press. Put it on a medium burner, toss your sandwich in your skillet, or griddle, then (with tongs or welding gloves) plop this little trivet on top of your sandwich. A couple of experiments is all it takes to get the right amount of heat to brown the top of your sandwich. If you need more weight, put some water in a saucepan and set it on the trivet - the "legs" on the trivet keep the saucepan from cooling the trivet and your sandwich is nicely smushed.
But the weirdest use of all time? Olive pitter. No, I'm not kidding. I was making a salad the other night, and I wanted to chop some black olives into it. I grabbed a can of olives and opened it, only to discover that my wife had bought un-pitted olives. I hate pitting olives, but I started in, when my eye was caught by this little trivet and all those interesting holes. I grabbed the trivet, put an olive on end over one of the small holes and pushed with my thumb - the pit jumped through the hole and left the meat on the other side. I grabbed a bowl, put the trivet on top and went through that can of olives in no time. Hint - the holes are beveled, and the olives sit very nicely in the bevel, but they don't pit as well - turn the trivet over and use the "flat" side of the hole.
So there you have it. A kitchen gadget with half-a-dozen uses for ten bucks. How can you go wrong?

I use this trivet over my gas stove burners or barbeque to heat tortillas like my grandmother used too. Also works great to fire roast chiles and peppers for salsa.

Love this trivet! It is perfect for use in my Lodge Logic 5 Qt Double Dutch Oven and Casserole with Skillet cover set, 10.25 inch in diameterdutch oven. They are a very esential pair in my kitchen. My food is so much better now and healthy with the trivet to have the drippings - drip away - from the food!!! Love it!!! Can't beat the price either. remember wash with hot water and scrub brush only (no soap) and rub some spray pam on it before putting up.

As expected.
Not too much to say about this. It's a cast iron meat rack / trivet. It performs as expected. I would buy again if I had to.

Can't wait to try it
We bought the dutch oven and some other accessories and decided to get this so we could do some "baking" in it. Can't wait to try it camping next weekend.

Trivet, Meat Rack and More!
Use it when I use the cast iron dutch oven on the stove top which probably isn't necessary. Use it at the table as a "cool" looking trivet. Read more

Great !
Looking forward to using in the Dutch oven when camping. I was shocked to learn you can make biscuits in a Dutch oven with this trivet !!!

Heat up tortillas and freshly made flatbread doh right on the flame.
For the open flame taste, I use a bluestar cooktop (but any gas cooktop will do) to heat up tortillas and freshly made flatbread dough on this trivet. Read more

my mom loves it
she used it to lift up her wok so it's not so direct on the gas flame and it really does a good job

Haven't used it yet...
I bought this with my other cast iron so I would have it if needed. Haven't needed it yet, so I rate it lower, but not on use merits. I rate it lower on functionality merits. Read more

GREAT FOR MEAT, BUT BETTER FOR PANINIS!
I bought this to use inside my cast iron dutch ovens. I liked the idea of having big pieces of meat up off the bottom of the pan so they do not scorch. Read more
