Is Porcelain Good for Kitchen Countertops?
Yes, especially if you cook a lot or have a sunny kitchen.
Porcelain is fired at high heat, so heat is the one thing it shrugs off. You can set a pan straight from the burner onto it. It won’t scorch and it won’t leave a ring. Quartz can’t do that; the resin in it will yellow.
It’s also non-porous. No sealing, no staining from red wine or olive oil, no annual maintenance.
Where it gets less obvious is the edge. Porcelain slabs are thinner than granite, so an unprotected corner can chip if you hit it hard enough with a cast iron pan.
If you want a surface you can be careless with heat around, this is the one.
