Zero.

It doesn't stain, it doesn't absorb, it's hard to crack (heat). It's sanitary, because it doesn't absorb juices (to use the polite term) from food. It feels soft (lots of talc), but if a scratch bothers you, you can sand it out. They have greenish, grey, and/or white veins.

If you want, you can oil it with food-grade mineral oil. Soapstone starts out as a pale grey, but it oxidizes with time to a charcoal, almost black. Applying mineral oil once a month or so speeds that up, but you don't have to do it unless you want to see the color change. Soapstone doesn't have to be sealed, resealed, etc. Back in the day, it was used in chemistry labs, including high-school chemistry classes. If I couldn't hurt it back in 10th grade chemistry, it must be pretty tough! I love them. There's something about them, with their depth, and you just want to touch them.

This was from our previous house, freshly oiled lol. They were either leathered or honed, I can't remember:

I'm not familiar with soapstone as a countertop. Does it require maintenance like granite?

You have to sexed on it once a week. Keeps the shine.

someone at work brought these in and well

I will try those and like them. The Cheeseburger were amazing. I mean, I didn't eat them much just because Im not that thrilled about a potato chip that tastes like a cheeseburger, but wow! I could taste the pickle, cheese and the charbroiled flavors. Was definitely cool.

For those of you that know what real corn bread is, Three Rivers corn meal is once again available. I think its been off the shelf for about 10 years. We've been getting by with the fake three rivers stuff at Food City since then, but when we went to buys some today, there was the original stuff! Chili and corn bread for dinner tonight!

We make our own corn meal back here. We use special corn grown in soil we buy from an unknown location and the water we use is from a little Island South of Fiji.
