Cooking with a round-bottomed wok on a flat trivet is a balancing act. Part 3054301001 is the genuine Westinghouse wire wok trivet that cradles the wok over the burner. It is listed for the WHG642SA and WHG644SA, the WHG952SA and WHG952SB, and the GHP and GHR 16, 17 and 95 models. Older lists may show it as 305430100.

What a wok trivet does on a gas cooktop

A wok trivet sits over the burner and holds a round-based wok steady above the flame, at a sensible height for the base of the pan. Without one the wok rocks, sits at the wrong height and heats unevenly. Wire trivets can bend if they are dropped or knocked, and may warp or corrode after years of high heat. A bent trivet lets the wok wobble, which is a real hazard with hot oil. This is the wire style. A cast version, 305439800, also suits these cooktops but has a different look.

Using the wok trivet safely

Let the cooktop cool fully before handling trivets or pan supports. Set the trivet over the wok burner so it sits flat and doesn't rock, then place the wok in it before lighting the burner. Keep the flame under the base of the wok rather than licking up the sides. If the trivet is bent or won't sit level, replace it rather than trying to straighten it.
