Can you operate a crock pot directly on quartz counter top?

It is not safe to operate a crock pot directly on a quartz countertop.

Here's why:

* Heat Damage: Crock pots generate heat, and prolonged contact can damage the quartz surface. This can lead to discoloration, warping, or even cracking.

* Surface Protection: Quartz countertops often have a protective sealant that can be compromised by direct heat. This can make the surface more susceptible to staining and scratches.

* Potential for Fire: In extreme cases, the heat from the crock pot could ignite the countertop materials, leading to a fire hazard.

Always use a heat-resistant trivet or cutting board between the crock pot and your quartz countertop to protect the surface.
