Can I set hot things on my Granite Countertops?

Yes. Granite generally withstands heat up to about 900 degrees F.
Softer stones can’t handle the heat like granite, so on those
surfaces, it’s recommended that you use a trivet.

Can I cut on my Granite Countertops?

Yes, you can. Granite is a very hard surface though, and in most
cases it’s harder than the material your knife blades are made of, so
expect that you will dull your knives quickly if you use them to cut
on your countertops.
