Soapstone countertops: The dark countertops and sink in this photo are made from soapstone. Soapstone is heat resistant, stain resistant, nonporous, and resistant to attack from acids and bases. It is often used as a natural stone countertop in kitchens and laboratories.
I have several 1 1/4â³ soapstone pieces with heat resistance to 2000 degrees and it is great to find out, or to learn, that soapstone is also a thermal heat conductor. My soapstone off-cuts come from a maker of kitchen bench-tops. Because of its thermal properties I intend to make stove with oven on one side heated up via a firing box located under these two and channel the heat in.
