I've had our granite kitchen counter tops for about 6 years now. Bought them from Home Depot. They are specially treated/sealed and have never had to be resealed. I brought the samples home before I bought it and tested them over the weekend with wine, dye, beet juice, etc. to see if they would stain. They did not and never have. I never use cleaners or cleansers, bleach, or anything like that on them. I just wash/wipe them with a damp sponge/cloth. They still shine like a "dime".
I have put hot pots have not burnt them. I haven't tried to light them on fire (LOL) as anything will burn if is the fire is hot enough. Remember 911 and the towers of concrete and steel.
I know marble has to be sealed very frequently as my sister has those. I love my granite counters and wouldn't trade them for anything else.
I think you would love granite… imho
