Why? Serious home cooks do not prep food directly on countertops
(that's a disgustingly filthy habit), are you going to butcher poultry
directly on stone counters, then you're an ignorant putz. And
professional bakers much prefer to work dough on hardwood. You don't
have a clue, you watch too much foodtv. Granite counters are strictly
for snob appeal, no other reason whatsoever, NONE. And professional
confection workers do not use granite, they work on marble... you're
not a professional confection worker, in fact you're not any kind of
professional... the most complicated recipe you've ever prepared
involved a can of soup. The only culinary products you're intimately
familiar with is a microwave oven and a plastic bowl.
