Fires of old
Hi
Trivets have been used in the kitchen for centuries. Hot pots are placed on the three-legged metal devices which were often found beside the cooking fires of old.
1. I understand that the first sentence says that they're still used today?
2. Does the phrase "of old" mean that in the past they were often found in the kitchen? Or does it strictly refer to the "cooking fires"?
