I've had hardwood blacken before from very hot pans.

How about using one of the relatively new silicone hot pad / grippers that you
can find at any kitchen store? They come in two sizes -- the large one is about
a foot square. That's what I use both on my cutting board and the granite
counters. It should stay in place well on your SS, too.
