Hot dish holder (6)
I believe the answer is:
trivet
'hot dish holder' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for trivet that I've seen before include "Support for kettle or pot over a fire" , "bracket for cooking-pot" , "Pot-holder" , "Stand for hot vessel" , "Tripodal base for kitchen appliances" .)
