Cutting on Concrete Countertops/ Placing Hot Pans on Concrete CountertopsCan you cut on concrete countertops? No. Cutting on the concrete countertop won't hurt the concrete, but will damage the sealer, which can effect the sealers ability to keep out water and stains. Cutting boards should always be used when chopping or preparing foods. Placing hot pans on concrete countertops Placing hot pans on the concrete countertops should be avoided. Concrete is very heat resistant, but the concern (like with cutting on concrete countertops) is damaging and/or discoloring the sealer. Some countertop contractors build in trivets of stainless steel, brass, or copper. Or you can use hot plates or a hot pad. Find a Countertop Manufacturer/Designer!
