    They are called "Trivets". They come in many shapes and designs. Mine are cast iron and in the shape of a pig and of a apple. I like the Cast Iron because there is no chance the sudden heat change from setting a hot pan on them will break them, and when they get scratched up from the pan bottoms, I just use a spray can of black paint to touch them up.

    You can get trivets at almost any house ware store.
