Granite is heat resistant and is not likely to be damaged however you should not expose your granite worktop to excessive heat and we advise the use of a tripod or similar to place your pans on when taken directly from the hob.

By testing our concrete, we have found that leaving a boiling pot of water on our finish will not damage the finish. However, we recommend using hot pad or trivet for pots and pans coming from the oven or stove. Our recommendation is to just use standard kitchen countertop practices and your top will have a long life to it.

Granite must not be rubbed with abrasive materials (such as metal pads, scouring detergents and wire wool or alkaline and chlorine based cleaners or bleach) instead, wash with clean warm water to which a non-abrasive light neutral detergent (PH7) may be added. Drainer Grooves can however be cleaned using wire wool.

Granite is waterproof and highly durable but the surface sealer does need regular reapplication (see next section). All spilt liquids should be mopped up immediately. The most risk is from highly alkaline or acidic liquids (such as lemon juice or vinegar), oil based substances (such as butter and cooking oils - hot oil splattering from cooking pans around the cooker), wine, detergents and alcohol.

Yes, everything is provided, including a full size stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender.

Granite is the hardest stone among all other stones. It is formed by extreme heat and pressure. Granite does not contain stain easily. It can not be easily affected by heat from cook top and frying pans. You can use hot pans and frying pans direct to granite countertop.

No, but thanks for asking. I bring everything I need. Pots, pans, utensils, spices, paper towels, cloth towels, dish detergent, a timer, bowls, cutting boards, knives, peeler, thermometer, food, containers for your food, etc. Should I clean out my freezer or fridge before you arrive? You know what? It really helps me if you can clean out some space in your freezer. I don't need as much space in your refrigerator, although I do place groceries in it when I arrive.

Rinse with clean warm water (if you wish add a non-abrasive light neutral detergent - PH7) and dry with a chamois leather or similar.

Granite is very tough however do not hit your granite worktop with something blunt and heavy. It can crack, chip or even break (the edges are most likely to be damaged if physically abused).

Use water based stain remover for the removal of stains of an organic nature, such as wine, coffee, nicotine, fruit juices etc. Use alkaline degreaser for removal of dirt of an organic and greasy nature, spots, grease, pollution, smoke stains, lamp black, wax coating etc. Manufacture, supply and fitting of granite worktops for kitchens and bathrooms, granite countertops for pubs and more...

Not if you stay at the Hotel. Apartment housing may be a different story. However, anything that is not provided by your landlord is probably available in local shops. But always double check with your landlord first.

Placing hot pans on the concrete countertops should be avoided. Concrete is very heat resistant, but the concern (like with cutting on concrete countertops) is damaging and or discoloring the sealer. We can build in trivets of stainless steel, brass, or copper. This common upgrade is both functional and great looking. Otherwise, you should use hot plates or a hot pad.

We generally try to prepare foods on site whenever possible, however if that is not an option, we will cook the food in our kitchen and then transport it to your location in insulated hot-boxes. Then add any garnishes or sauces right before serving to ensure that the food is as vibrant and fresh as possible. We always recommend menu items that travel well if this is necessary.

Granite is harder then knife. If you use knife on granite, knife can be dull very easily. Do not use granite as a cutting surface.

Because granite is very hard stone that's formed at very high temperatures deep in the earth, its polish is not subject to etching by household acids, or scratching by knives and pots and pans. It's unaffected by typical kitchen heat such as hot pans, or spilled liquid. [ top ]

In a word, yes. There has been some misinformation circulated by competing industries attempting to raise concerns about issues such as bacteria and radon. We would be pleased to share the research that shows that these concerns are not only unfounded but granite actually ranks second to stainless steel in a study measuring the bacteria resistance capacity of six common countertop materials.
