Not just a pretty surface
When creativity can’t be contained
When most people think about kitchen upgrades, they picture flashy smart appliances or trendy backsplashes. But sometimes the biggest additions aren’t high tech and eye-catching, sometimes they are hidden in plain sight. When a spark of culinary inspiration strikes it can feel restricting to limit yourself to the confines of chopping boards and kitchen plates, which is why the ideal counter surface isn’t just a stylish kitchen feature, it’s a culinary tool.
Here’s why you should ditch the meal prep surfaces and get messy on the kitchen counter with forward thinking materials like porcelain.
BURNING UP
Surfaces like porcelain can withstand extremely high temperatures so you can place hot pans or pots directly on the counter without fear of burning or scorching it. If you’re cooking outside, the composition of natural materials also makes it immune to UV and sun damage over different seasons.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT STAINS AND SCRATCHES
Depending on which material you’re using, many counter materials like porcelain have a non-porous surface, meaning it won’t absorb liquids, bacteria, or odours which makes it hygienic for food prep that won’t leave any remnants behind once you’ve cleaned up ingredients like wine, oils and acidic foods.
EASY TO CLEAN
Counter tops like porcelain aren’t damaged by common kitchen acids or cleaning agents, so it will look great after regular cleaning and disinfection for a high-use cooking surface.
FOOD-SAFE SURFACES
Porcelain is non-toxic meaning it’s safe for food contact and suitable for everything from tempering chocolate to chopping vegetables, seasoning meat and rolling dough or pasta directly on the surface. Porcelain counters also have impressive scratch-resistance strength meaning you can get into the food prep zone without worrying about scrapes and scuffs.
EASY ON THE EYE
Functionality aside, a great counter surface also elevates the look and feel of the kitchen, with porcelain offering a sustainable, minimalist design that has a wide variety of striking colour schemes, bolder veins, palpable textures, and magnified patterns that make cooking and dining in your kitchen a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.
