You might get away with it, but I would not recommend placing a hot pot on a granite countertop. Granite can crack with heat. Use a trivet or cutting board. Also, don't ever stand on a granite countertop to replace a light bulb. I would suggest that you look at quartz as an alternative to granite. It seems to be replacing granite as the new modern trend in countertops.
