Stove is cranking and I don't want to muss the stovetop paint - yet, with a pot of anything. Can't find a trivet around here (I mean around my house.) I have this "pampered chef" pizza stone. It's ceramic. It's made to go in the oven. Any reason that this thing shouldn't/couldn't sit on the stove top to rest my kettle upon? Anyone, anyone?
ceramic trivet on stovetop? (pizza stone?)

If the stone is really clean I don't see why it would hurt as long as you didn't scooch it along the top of the stove at all. I'd be interested in hearing your results...I've got several of those stones.
I do not recommend putting ceramic things - glazed or not - on a hot stove unless it is "absolutely" dry and definitely never boil water in a ceramic dish/pot.
Been there. Done that.
It work well for a while - boiling water in a pretty ceramic dish in my fireplace insert. I was wondering just how much it would correct the dry air - then "BAM" - it literally exploded - apparently from steam formed from trapped water inside the ceramic. This amounted to a ceramic hand grenade as I picked pieces out of the dry wall across the room. Luckily no one was in the room.
