Why Granite Heat Pads Were Genius

Same material, same expansion rate

Since the pad was cut from the same slab as your countertop, it expanded and contracted at the same rate when heated—eliminating stress cracks.

Built-in elegance

Unlike bulky silicone trivets or clunky metal stands, these matched your counters perfectly—functional and seamless.

Durable & permanent

No warping, melting, or washing needed. Just wipe clean and reuse—forever.

Free with installation

Many countertop companies included these as a courtesy—turning “waste” into wisdom.

How to Use (or Repurpose) Yours Today

✅ If You Still Have One:

Keep it by the stove—use it under cast iron skillets, Dutch ovens, or sheet pans fresh from the oven

Don’t store it in a cabinet—it belongs on the counter, ready for action!

Clean gently—avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the sealant

♻️ If You Thought It Was Decor:

Start using it as intended—your countertops will thank you

No longer have granite counters? Use it as a pastry slab, cheese board, or plant stand—but keep it away from extreme heat if not designed for it
