What is the best stone for my kitchen counter tops - Granite or Marble?

Frequently Asked Questions
Granite is the ideal stone for kitchen counter tops. Granite is formed deep in the earth’s mantle at extremely high temperatures, and and it is an exceptionally hard, resistant stone made of crystallized minerals (see stone types). You can actually chop vegetables right on the counter top without damaging the surface, however you may damage your knives as the stone is harder than the knife blades and can dull them.

Granite and marble are the most luxurious surfacing materials. Three-quarter inch slab material should last for the life of the structure. Expect a long life with either. Be aware though that marble can be marred by contact with acidic foods and granite can absorb kitchen grease. Granite is less porous than marble. With proper protection stains can be prevented. We recommend applying at least two coats of sealer.

Can I put a hot pot directly onto a concrete kitchen counter?

Concrete Counter Tops for Your Kitchen and Bathroom
Concrete is heat-resistant but is subject to thermal shock if a red-hot object is placed directly upon it. Like granite, the exposed area may flake or chip away if too much heat is applied. In addition, the heat could damage the sealer and wax applied to the surface. We recommend using trivets for hot cookware.

Can you set hot pans on granite or marble?

Vesta Granite Ottawa
Granite is ideal for kitchens because under normal conditions it will not burn and it will not be harmed by hot pans or open flames. Marble is less resistant to heat, therefore excessive heat can cause damage and potentially leave scars or burn marks. Neither material is flammable. Granite is a very dense material and under normal conditions it is chip and scratch resistant.

Should I put anything under the granite tops when I install them?

Granite Countertops FAQ
Yes. In addition to a 3/4 inch thick plywood subcounter you will want a moisture barrier between the granite and the wood. A vulcanized rubber paint, for example, works just fine as does plastic sheeting. The idea here is you don't want any moisture or water getting into the subcounter and rotting or mildewing.

Should a large pot of soup sit on the range until it cools, or should it be refrigerated hot?

FSIS Advertisement Rotator
Hot food can be placed directly in the refrigerator or it can be rapidly chilled in an ice or cold water bath before refrigerating. Cover foods to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors from other foods. A large pot of food like soup or stew should be divided into small portions and put in shallow containers before being refrigerated.
