Good to know about porcelain

Clay and minerals fired at well over 1,000 degrees into an ultra-compact slab. The same family as our floor and wall tiles, but made thin, large and dense enough to work on.

Know this first The edge is the vulnerable part. A heavy impact on a mitred corner can chip it, and the repair is less forgiving than on stone. It is also worth asking where the pattern sits: on some ranges the veining is on the surface rather than through the body, so a deep chip shows a different colour underneath.

• Heat and light do nothing. A pan straight off the hob does not mark it and the colour holds in sunlight, so it is the one surface here that also works outdoors.
• No sealing, ever. Water absorption is effectively nil. There is nothing for a sealer to close, so the routine is a cloth.
• Very hard to scratch. It is harder than a knife blade. A board still protects the knife.

Looking after it. Warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner. Nothing else is needed.
