Stupid question: Can you put a hot pan on a granite counter? Will it crack it?

 

Will what crack - the pan or the counter?  

My understanding is that granite can generally handle the heat from hot pans.  Sealants and adhesives joining slabs may be less resistant. I do put hot pans on my granite counter from time to time and have not had a crack yet.  

When baking in glass or ceramic pans, I put them on a rack, or a dry, folded kitchen towel more for the sake of the pan than the granite counter.
