    :eek: NO!!!

    They aren't designed to withstand particularly high temperatures and I've seen the results more than once!! Get one of those trivet things for pans. I use wooden cutting boards or even a toughened glass worktop saver to put hot items on but never the worktop.
  • Definitely do not do this unless you want a massive blister on your work surface.

    Just to be contrary I have frequently taken pans straight off the hob or out of the oven and put them on the work surface with no ill effects. I've done this in two different kitchens and don't think twice about it now - and, no, neither of them are/were granite!
