Little clover iron rest - FYI

I use a tall (old) coffee mug to put mine in. (Check your local Salvation Army or Goodwill store). Without something secure to put that Clover Iron in, I was afraid I'd either set fire to my table or badly burn myself! Something others have done is super-glue the teeny iron rest to a 6" ceramic tile. It's better to be safe than sorry.

What clever ideas - I am going to go with the tile one as I have a couple of spare rectangle ones.

Thanks ladies,

I've got a tiny cast skillet somewhere in the basement. I might dig that out for Mom, and then do the tile thing for mine. Mom has used a Pyrex pie pan in the past.

I've tried the coffee mug and found it to be highly likely to topple over unexpectedly. It would fall over 2-10 minutes after I put it in the mug, so I feel it isn't safe enough for me. I felt safer using the original stand because if it was going to topple it would do so right then while I was expecting it, not after I might have left the room to do something else.
