Three-legged cooking stand (6)

I believe the answer is:

trivet

(Other definitions for trivet that I've seen before include "Stand for hot vessel" , "Three-legged pot stand" , "Teapot stand, proverbially right" , "Stand for hot pot or dish" , "Pot-holder" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
