1. A collapsible trivet comprising: a first support section;a second support section; anda connecting member having a first end and an opposing second end, the first support section including two support arms and being pivotally mounted to one of the first end or the second end of the connecting member, and the second support section being pivotally mounted to the other of the first end or the second end of the connecting member, the collapsible trivet being positionable to a first open position where the first support section, the second support section, and the connecting member lie substantially flat in a same plane to allow a dish to be placed across the collapsible trivet, wherein a first axle pivotally mounts the first support section to the connecting member, and a second axle pivotally mounts the second support section to the connecting member, at least one of the first axle or the second axle comprising a slot and a locking mechanism, wherein the slot is configured to receive the locking mechanism that moves in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the connecting member to prevent pivoting of at least one of the first support section or the second support section when the locking mechanism engages the slot, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a retractable bolt that extends from the connecting member for engaging with the slot formed in the at least one of the first axle or the second axle, for locking at least one of the first support section or the second support section in a locked position and preventing pivoting of the at least one of the first support section or the second support section, and the retractable bolt is operable by a moveable operating member configured to move in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connecting member. 2. The collapsible trivet as recited in claim 1, wherein the second support section includes two support arms. 3. The collapsible trivet as recited in claim 1, wherein the collapsible trivet is positionable to a second open position where the first support section and the second support section are disposed at least one of substantially perpendicular to the connecting member or at acute angles to the connecting member, and the first support section and the second support section face each other. 4. The collapsible trivet as recited in claim 1, wherein the collapsible trivet is positionable to a collapsed position where the first support section is substantially adjacent to and parallel with the second support section, and the connecting member is at an acute angle with respect to each of the first support section and the second support section. 5. The collapsible trivet as recited in claim 1, wherein the support arms are at least one of made from a heat-resistant material or covered with the heat-resistant material. 6. The collapsible trivet as recited in claim 1, wherein the connecting member is at least one of made from a heat-resistance material or covered with the heat-resistant material. 7. A collapsible trivet comprising: a first support section;a second support section; anda connecting member having a first end and an opposing second end, the first support section including two support arms and being pivotally mounted to one of the first end or the second end of the connecting member, and the second support section being pivotally mounted to the other of the first end or the second end of the connecting member, the collapsible trivet being positionable to a first open position where the first support section, the second support section, and the connecting member lie substantially flat in a same plane to allow a dish to be placed across the collapsible trivet, whereina first axle pivotally mounts the first support section to the connecting member, anda second axle pivotally mounts the second support section to the connecting member,the first axle comprises a first slot and a first locking mechanism wherein the first slot is configured to receive the first locking mechanism that moves in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the connecting member to prevent pivoting of the first support section when the first locking mechanism engages the first slotthe second axle comprises a second slot and a second locking mechanism wherein the second slot is configured to receive the second locking mechanism that moves in the direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the connecting member to prevent pivoting of the second support section when the second locking mechanism engages the second slotthe first locking mechanism comprises a first retractable bolt that extends from the connecting member for engaging with the first slot formed in the first axle, to lock the first support section in a first support section locked position and preventing pivoting of the first support section, and the first retractable bolt is provided at the first end of the connecting member andthe second locking mechanism comprises a second retractable bolt that extends from the connecting member for engaging with the second slot formed in the second axle, to lock the second support section in a second support section locked position, and the first retractable bolt is provided at the first end of the connecting member. 8. The collapsible trivet as recited in claim 7, wherein the retractable bolts are simultaneously operable by a moveable operating member. 9. The collapsible trivet as recited in claim 8, wherein the moveable operating member extends from a side of the connecting member, and is movable in a direction perpendicular to an elongate extent of the connecting member. 10. The collapsible trivet as recited in claim 9, wherein the moveable operating member is movable to an operating member locked position where the moveable operating member is further from a central axis of the connecting member and the bolts are extended, and an operating member unlocked position where the moveable operating member is closer to the central axis of the connecting member and the bolts are retracted. 11. The collapsible trivet as recited in claim 10, wherein a biasing member is provided for biasing the moveable operating member into the locked position. 12. The collapsible trivet as recited in claim 11, wherein the biasing member comprises at least one spring acting to provide an outward force on the moveable operating member and urge the moveable operating member away from the connecting member.
