So I've been around the block a few times and now have absolutely no idea what I want to do with the counter tops in my kitchen. My most arduous of cooking is croissants, which requires rolling directly on the surface. Stone seemed like a good idea, but they all require sealing, and it doesn't seem apparent how often different stones need to be sealed due to it being based on the nature of the stone itself. It seems silly to pay a good deal of money for countertops that need to be babied. Stone is colder, which makes working with butter easier, but I'm not sold that it is that great of a selling point seeing I've been cooking on older Formica for nearly 20 years.
There looks to be some really nice looking laminate out there. I was wondering if there are any cooks out there that have experience with the latest in laminates or stone as a working surface and keeping whatever looking brilliant.
