Morning all! ! ! After many, many years we are finally the proud owners of a new granite benchtop, would anyone be able to throw any tips in our direction, re cleaning, do's and don'ts etc. I was wondering if I treat it as normal and can put hot pans on it and roll out dough etc... ... much appreciated and as always TIA! ! ! !

I would think no hot pans! Get yourself some trivets.

Get yourself a pastry cloth which keeps it off the bench and actually makes a very light pastry!

Wipe up beetroot juice or redwine spills quickly as they can stain granite. Always use a chopping board when using a knife otherwise you'll get scratch marks

We were told NO lemon jiuce on the granite... . also not good to put hot or cold(straight from the freezer) on there either! I know of someone who pulled a roast from the freezer and left it on the bench to defost and it cracked/shattered the granite.
