I've put a hot griddle pan (yes, I know!) down on the kitchen worktop
and now have a bubble in the surface around 10mm long and 5mm wide. It's
a couple of mm high and has a fine crack across the top of it. The
worktop is a one of Formica's finest textured in black and grey.


i did exactly this once but burned a much bigger area. We 'fixed' it
by getting a nice rectangle of fancy stainess steel and gluing it over
the damage. This then looked like a special place designed to put
hot pans.
