Your Granite Experts – Classic Granite Works

Q: Can I set hot pots and pans directly onto my countertop?
A: It depends what type of hard surface countertops you have. Granite is considered heat resistant and in general will not be harmed by a hot pan set directly on the surface, however, in very rare cases, extremely hot objects can result in thermal shock and cracking in the granite slab.
Manufacturers of other solid surfaces (such as quartz) claim heat resistance of up to 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit, while the average oven goes up to 204 C/400 F. For this reason it’s always best to place a trivet beneath hot pans on your countertop.
