Granite is a natural stone and will tolerate temperatures in excess of 1200 F. Plus there is no resin, so it will not stain the granite if hot pans are left on top. You can safely place items from your oven/stove top or grill directly on the granite without a pad. The only warning, since glass can crack with fast temperature changes, is that it is recommended to put hot dishes onto cold granite.
Can hot pots be placed directly on granite?
