Since granite was formed by extreme heat and pressure, it won't be affected by heat from a cook top or frying pan. An open flame placed under the granite has no melting effect and will not leave any burned or scarred marks. We do not however, recommend placing hot pans onto your countertops.
Granite is most susceptible to cracks during shipping and installation. Once it has been properly installed, normal use will not harm it. Because of its crystalline structure, however, it can chip if it's subjected to blows by hard, sharp objects such as a meat cleaver. A trained professional can sometimes repair a chip with a granite dust and epoxy mixture, but no repair will be completely invisible.
