Perfect worktop doesn't exist - but how about optimal?

Well we have both Granite (Italian I think) and Oak, treated with 3 coats of 2 pack varnish.

 

BOTH do not stain (well I have not found anything that has stained them yet, certainly not curry or red wine) and certainly not plain water.

 

The granite I am sure would crack if I dropped a sledge hammer on it, but has not chipped or cracked or scratched in normal use, but drop a plate on it and the plate definitely breaks.

 

The Granite is not bothered by hot pans or boiling water.  We take care (use a trivet) not to "test" the oak with a hot pan.

 

The oak won't crack but drop a heavy pointed object and it will dent very slightly.

 

Problem with granite is it sets off a Geiger counter.

What on earth are you cooking up in your kitchen ? ?

I like most of these worktops but not a fan of the lavastone. Reminds me too much of ceramic kitchen dishes.

Yeah I have to admit the aesthetic looks somewhat like the cheap kitchenware, but perhaps I could be convinced..
