Soapstone is a sturdy material favored for kitchen countertops due to its extraordinary heat resistance and smooth texture. It can endure high temperatures without burning or warping and eliminates the need for heat-resistant items while cooking. This metamorphic rock is less prone to thermal shock than quartz and is resilient against stains from substances like coffee and wine. It does not require sealing and is resistant to reactions with acidic foods, making it ideal for avid cooks seeking durability.
Soapstone kitchen counters can handle heat without scorching or warping, and there's no need for hot pads, trivets, or heat-resistant pads.
Soapstone is tough enough to handle the weight of hot and heavy pans that fly from stovetop to countertop when the cooking's done.
Compared to other well-known countertop materials, such as quartz, soapstone is less likely to crack when experiencing sudden temperature changes.
Natural-stone properties of soapstone don't react to acidic ingredients such as vinegar and lemon juice, so there's less concern over etching or fade spots.
