Table Pad Heat Protection -- Know the Limits of your Table Pads
Most table pads are made with three basic layers--a vinyl top, a felt bottom, and an insulation layer between. The thickness of the insulation layer determines how much heat protection your table will have. However, note that although your table might be protected, the table pad itself might be ruined by extreme heat. The insulation layer might protect your table from a 500 degree cast iron pan taken right out of the oven, but the vinyl top layer will most probably burn or melt.
Therefore, always place your pots on trivets/hot plates, even if you use a table pad. Table pads protect your table from accidental spills, but are not indestructible themselves.
