(50,546 posts)The tray that will be used is a ceramic tile with rubber feet glued to the bottom.
True story: my mom had the lowest-grade laminate countertops in her kitchen, and was always worried about scorching them. (I have her house now and trust me, those damned countertops are gone, gone, gone.) She bought one of those countertop ovens that looks like a big crock pot with an aluminum pot instead of a ceramic one and was worried about scorching the counter, so I went to Home Depot, bought an 18 porcelain tile, a pack of rubber feet and a small tube of silicone caulk and glued the feet to the tile. This happened the day before Thanksgiving and the entire day before, plus until noon of Thanksgiving, she was like where am I going to store this? I have nowhere to put this.
And then she accidentally put a pan on the thing. Suddenly she realized what I had done was installed the worlds biggest trivet in her kitchen. She used it every day of her life.
