Frequently
Asked Questions

The things I love about this product

It has a wonderful feel in matt finished or highly polished. It is noted that it is “warm to the touch” and has a very appealing look to the eye. It also has a good weight, which makes it feel solid, sturdy and a high end, quality material. It will not shatter like stone or glass if dropped. It is extremely tough and has been tested for durability in the most frenetic pro kitchens.

Will it scratch?

Yes, very lightly, (About 5 microns) If it didn't scratch, it would be aggressively blunting your blade. As it is a renewable surface, a light sanding with fine water paper will smooth out the patina. You can repeat this as many times as you like over the years.

Will it blunt my knives?

No, the material is softer than the knife, which means it will give way to the blade. Unlike Glass or Marble/Granite which destroys knife blades very quickly. It is on par with wood surfaces but without the hygiene issues. I feel that the Setta Blocks and Solid Surface material is perfectly balanced in the trade off between strength, durability, hygiene and the maintenance of a blade edge. It is classed as "knife friendly".

Is it dishwasher safe?

Yes

Microwave safe?

No, I would not put it in the oven either.

Can I put hot pots/ pans on it as a Trivet?

Yes, resistant to a temperature of 150 deg C. Although it is adverse to thermal shock.
