Make a paste with baking soda and toothpaste (not the gel). Apply it to the wood and let it sit for a few minutes. Gently wipe it away. Another option is mayonnaise.
Hope this helps

How to Remove White Heat Stains on Wood Table with Toothpaste
Toothpaste and baking soda combination is an excellent way to remove heat stains from wood furniture. This is because its alkaline nature makes it react with the stains, removing them. You can’t use any toothpaste, though. What you need is the regular toothpaste – the white non-gel type. Gel toothpaste usually contains different ingredients that won’t work for heat stain.
Mix the toothpaste and baking soda for the best results. Toothpaste usually contains baking soda but in minute amounts.

Thanks everyone. I have tried baking soda and toothpaste but didn’t help. Not sure it it’s because it’s veneer, not solid wood? I’ll try the mayo. Has anyone tried heat on veneer? I’m worried about doing more damage though
try scrubbing with alcohol, it will neutralize the fat
I think wax polish fro wood would do but I am not a 100% sure.
You could try a hemp oil to see if the steam from the iron dried out the veneer. It might work!
After having cleaned the table, the first method to try is to use a mixture of toothpaste and baking soda. Mix 1 tablespoon (approximately 20ml) of toothpaste with 2 tablespoons of baking soda (40ml) in a small bowl, creating a sticky white paste. Rub the paste into the heat mark in the direction of the wood grain.
Furthermore, does Mayo remove heat stains from wood? Mayo. It might sound strange, but the ingredients in mayonnaise can clear up heat rings and stains. Simply apply the mayo to the affected area and leave it on overnight. Wipe it off the next morning and the marks should be gone.
Iron again over a towel, but this time don't use Steam or damp towel.
I have seen this done before but have not personally attempted it myself. 1. place a paper bag on the table 2. iron over the paper bag. The heat and bag will help extract the moisture. Good luck!
try using coffee to restain it.
Mayonnaise contains ingredients that are duplicated in the composition of polishing products. That is why this method is not as absurd as it seems at first glance. A couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise is applied to a towel or dry cloth, rubbed over the entire area of the matter, and in this form, a towel is applied to the place where heat stains have formed.
Mayonnaise is perfectly absorbed into the wood, and the fat in its composition will absorb all the moisture and there will be no trace of the heat stain or white mark. Ordinary petroleum jelly, olive oil or baking soda can become an analogue of mayonnaise to remove heat stains from wood table.
