TRIVET SPATULA

A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener. Before being installed, a rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite to the head is called the tail. On installation, the rivet is placed in a punched or drilled hole, and the tail is upset, or bucked (i.e., deformed), so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter, holding the rivet in place.

A spatula is a broad, flat, flexible blade used to mix, spread, scoop, lift, hold, and fold foods, batters, and frostings. Spatulas are used to scrape the edges of a mixing bowl or to level off the top of a mixing or measuring cup. While frequently constructed of wood, spatulas are also made from heat resistant plastic or metal and may be solid or grated. Large platform spatulas may have an extended handle and deck and may themselves serve as a cooking platform.
