Its microporous honeycomb structure pulls moisture away from wet items and disperses it into the air, leaving countertops and floors dry within seconds. The slab-style construction also stands up to heat and daily wear so it serves both as a dish-drying station and a protective trivet for hot cookware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this mat dry dishes so quickly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mat’s diatomaceous earth composition contains tiny pores that act like capillaries, drawing water off surfaces on contact and distributing it across the slab to evaporate.
