Quartz countertops

My husband and I just bought our first house, and I love doing crockpot meals. We move into the new house next week, and it has quartz countertops. We’ve never lived anywhere with quartz countertops, so this is new territory us. I know you have to be careful with quartz and heat, and can buy a silicone mat to go underneath, but I was wondering if anyone had any other tips. Do you feel comfortable leaving the house with it on?
