Answer: In most cases
Explanation: In most cases, marble countertops are heat-resistant to a certain extent. Marble is a natural stone that can generally withstand heat quite well, making it suitable for moderate use in kitchens. However, it's not as heat-resistant as some other materials like granite. Prolonged exposure to very high temperatures or placing hot pots and pans directly on the surface can potentially cause damage. It's often recommended to use trivets or hot pads to protect the marble surface. Additionally, marble can be sensitive to staining and etching, so care should be taken with acidic substances.
