Three-legged pot stand (6)

I believe the answer is:

trivet

(Other definitions for trivet that I've seen before include "Three-legged metal stand" , "Support for kettle or pot over a fire" , "Three-legged pot stand" , "Teapot stand, proverbially right" , "Stand for hot pot or dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times, the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Times.
