   many people have them wrapped, they can crack, i've seen it happen in the past, But only if the metal has any points to which a hot spot can occur.
   
   example of that would be a sharp point or edge inside.

   Stainless mani's dont tend to crack, unless its for the reasons said, its mild steel ones which do.
