Granite countertops are known for their durability and heat resistance; however, it is possible for them to be damaged by heat, especially from pots and pans taken directly from the stove or oven. Sudden and extreme temperature changes can cause thermal shock, potentially leading to cracks or discoloration. Therefore, it’s recommended to use trivets or hot pads to protect the granite’s surface.
