Not true. Here is just one expert opinion. There are many more.
"Is it okay to put a hot pot or pan on a granite countertop?
A common question we often get asked is “Can you put hot pans on granite countertops?”. The simple and straightforward answer is no. Our professional team at Kitchen Express does not advise placing a hot pot or pan on a granite countertop for several reasons. While granite is a strong and durable material, it is not meant for such hot temperatures such as holding a pot that was previously on a stove or a pan that was cooking in the oven. Placing such high heat on your granite countertop for only a few seconds will not cause significant damage, but if it continues to be a habit or the item is left on the countertop for a longer period of time, the damage is likely to occur."
