I have granite and I love it! My granite guy said hot pans are not really a big problem but I still always put down hot pads. Also, the cleaning and occasional polishing are no big deal. We just bought/moved into this 7 year-old home across the road from our farm. I've spent my entire married life (35 years) in an ancient farmhouse with a kitchen straight out of the sixties so I'm thrilled with the the beautiful kitchen in our new house! When I referred to 'my granite guy'...we had an island put in this winter and the local granite place still had a slab of the granite used in the kitchen when the house was built. I asked him a lot of questions about care of the granite.
