I have granite counter tops and would like to know if it's safe to leave my 2 marble cutting boards on top?
I use the marble cutting boards only once in a while,but i leave them on the counters to display a few kinds of salt,antique butter dish and little vases filled with fresh herbs.Will the contact of marble hurt the surface of my counters?I clean underneath them once a week and let the surface dry before I put them on the counter top,I keep all surfaces dry too.
Thanks in advance...
No, shouldn't be a problem. But if you are concerned about damaging the surface of the granite, you can put those little adhesive felt discs on the bottom of the marble cutting boards to be super sure that nothing harms the granite.
By the way, try not to actually cut on your marble cutting boards; it will dull your knives very quickly. I like the idea of using them to display your antique butter dish and so forth. Marble cutting boards are also a great way to serve cheese at a wine and cheese party.
Do you use your marble boards for rolling out pastry dough? That's the classic way to keep pastry dough cool as you work with it.
