If you're a master chef in the kitchen, then it is worthwhile to invest in a quality countertop that can stand up to heavy use. While many materials may look the same on the surface, they have subtle differences to suit different needs. The guide below explores some worthwhile options.

What Type of Countertypes Are Great to Cook On?

1. Granite 

Granite is classy and comes in almost 3,000 different types and colors. While its appearance is a plus, its durability is what makes it a stand-out material. It’s resistant to the negative effects of heat up to 400 degrees. In addition, if it’s properly sealed, clean-up takes almost no time at all.

2. Quartz

Quartz is very similar to granite, except it’s engineered and not natural and lacks some of its heat resistance. Because it’s man-made, however, it can come in even more colors than granite does. It’s mostly resistant to getting scratches and cuts, as well as moisture and stains. If you tend to get a little messy when you cook, a quartz countertop might be for you.

3. Marble

Marble is also particularly useful if you love baking pastries, as it has a high thermal mass that helps it remain the same cool temperature. This means it can have warm, buttery dough on it without the dough overheating.
