Do you actually use your countertops for dough forming, cutting, etc?
I've noticed some ppl don't bother w cutting boards or sheets when cutting or molding dough and just use the countertop, I wonder what %age of ppl do that? It personally seems weird to me cuz I have to be vigilant to keep the countertop super-clean; I can see the efficiency but I never thought of doing that. How do you guys work in the kitchen?

Granite counters, so yes for dough rolling and cutting. If we had Corian or Formica or wood, we would use a hunk of granite or marble kept cold in the fridge. That doesn’t stop us from keeping the countertops clean. (Meat, chicken and veggies all cut/prepared on cutting boards)

Cutting board use isn't so much a cleanliness issue on our Corian. I don't want marks that would need buff/polish.
I still prefer a taquero who has a wooden board that has that depression from him chopping the meat with a clever. I know then the taco will be properly "seasoned" like a fine bourbon

Nope. Granite counter tops $5000.00. Cutting board, much less. I bought a pizza dough rolling mat for that purpose.

Nope x 2, just remolded the kitchen and just over $6000.00 in quartz countertops. We use a pastry mat and cutting boards.

We have the same granite we had installed in 2002. Making / stretching pizza dough - sure. Cutting anything or prepping meat? No - we use a cutting board.

Depends...we have granite.
1. Dough and that, yeah, on the counter for sure. 2. Cutting any meat - always a cutting board. 3. Fruits...for lunches I'll often cut right on the counter. Veg prep, I'll use a cutting board more often than not unless I'm doing garlic, then I just use the counter again. Nobody is revealing their age. I'm 42. |

I'm 71 and we used Alberene Soapstone for our counter-tops and hearth five-years ago when we built our new home. We chose it because it is a local natural material and so tough you can have a campfire on it if you wanted. The quarry from where it came is probably 20-miles from our house. We have a huge island with no sink or stove top that we use for crafts, puzzles, etc. We like the way the soapstone looks without any treatment as we were going for that lived-in farmhouse look anyway. But for sharp stuff we use cutting boards. Any scratches in the soapstone can be sanded out but most mistakes or damage fits right in with the quartz veins in the black stone.
