You can safely place hot pots, pans, and baking dishes directly onto a natural granite countertop without worrying about scorching, melting, or thermal cracking. Because granite is an igneous rock formed under extreme heat and pressure deep within the Earth, its mineral crystals—consisting mostly of quartz, feldspar, and mica—withstand high culinary temperatures effortlessly. However, while the stone itself handles heat well, thermal shock can occasionally affect old adhesives or stone seams beneath the surface.
