If you have a pot/pan with the same material that mentions a temperature it's oven-safe to a given temperature, and you also have a thermometer to test your stove, you might be able to get a slightly better idea before you try it. | |

But because the trivet is not designed for this use, there is no way to know if it will work or not and it would not be responsible to recommend it. But because you are talking about lower temperature usage, personally I think I would try it and see how it does. If you do, please let us know your results. | |

The most common personal use-case would be making Arabic coffee on the stove (the trivet is also useful because it helps to stabilize the base of the pot which doesn't always sit well on a stove). Another example would be keeping a small pot at a bare simmer for some time. | |

Nowadays the common meaning of "trivet" is something to set a hot dish on top of on the table, to protect the table from that heat. There's no reason to expect they'll be usable for the older sense of the word (holding something over a fire). | |
