Whoops, the tag wasn't closed.
I have one of these, my mother brought it back for me from a trip to Europe. It's one of the best souvenir gifts I've ever received. Only problem is you need two hands to open it, so don't grab the hot pot before you open the trivet (sounds silly, but keeps happening to me).
Also available in the US at www.lumens.com for $21.
