[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I take pans out of the oven and put them directly on the counter. Haven’t had any issues. [/quote] You are brave. Our instructions said that quartz would NOT be suitable for oven pans, because most oven cooking is at a temperature which can melt the resins. Similarly, it said that a stovetop pan which was on medium or high would not be suitable, again because it could melt the resins. Note that “melt” includes softening, not just liquifying, the resins. Repeated softening without melting still can permanently damage quartz. An ordinary hot cup of tea or coffee is below the temperature where resins might melt. Next time, we will pick actual granite for kitchen counters, even though we prefer the look of some quartz over most granite..[/quote]
