It is generally safe to put hot pots on granite surfaces, as granite is heat-resistant and can withstand high temperatures. However, it is still recommended to use a trivet or hot pad to protect the granite surface and prevent any potential damage or discoloration.
Granite is a form of 'igneous' rock... The name 'igneous' is taken from the Latin 'ignis', for 'fire', because igneous rock is formed from magma and volcanic activity.In short, while granite could be too hot for your cooking pots to handle, your cooking pots won't ever get too hot for granite to handle... They'd melt first! :-)
It is generally safe to put a hot pan on granite, as granite is heat resistant and can withstand high temperatures. However, sudden extreme temperature changes can potentially cause the granite to crack or break, so it is recommended to use a trivet or hot pad to protect the granite surface.
No, it is not safe to set hot pans directly on granite countertops as it can cause damage to the surface and potentially lead to cracking or discoloration. It is recommended to use trivets or hot pads to protect the granite countertop from heat.

Granite is a natural stone that can withstand very high temperatures. I have granite in my kitchen and can literally take anything out of the oven and place it directly on the granite. I have taken things from the broiler at 550 degrees with no problem! Hope this helps with your question.

Pot racks are used as a barrier between a hot plate and a hard surface such as your kitchen counter or your kitchen table. Hot pots and pans can damage surfaces in your home, so you should always use a pot rack.
The choice between granite and Silestone depends on your specific needs and preferences. Granite is a natural stone known for its durability and unique patterns, while Silestone is a manufactured quartz surface that is non-porous and highly resistant to stains. Consider factors like maintenance, cost, and design preferences when making your decision.
The purpose of a trivet is mainly for safety. It is usually made of metal or tile with little rubber feet on the bottom. Use for hot casserole or hot dishes on the table/surfaces without burning the table or damaging any surfaces.
A safe surface temperature to touch is around 105°F (40°C) for brief contact, such as hot tap water. However, surfaces like hot cookware can still cause burns at lower temperatures, so caution should always be used when touching surfaces that have been heated.
To prevent damage to your granite countertop when using a hot pan, always use a trivet or hot pad to create a barrier between the pan and the countertop. This will help protect the granite from heat damage and potential cracking.
