Exposure to heat:
Caesarstone can withstand very brief exposure to moderate heat, however, any stone material can be potentially damanged by sudden and rapid temperature changes, especially near edges. The best course of action to prevent discoloration or cracking is to use inexpensive and readily available trivets, especially when using cooking units such as electric frying pans, crock pots or toaster ovens. Do not put cookware directly on the Caesarstone surface.
Durability:
Caesarstone is resistant to cracks, scratches and stains, however, force and/or pressure from objects can damage the surface. With any surface, Caesarstone can be permanently damanged by exposure to strong chemicals and solvents. Use of a cutting board is always recommended.
