Crock Pots- Do You Put Your Crock Pot on Your Countertop Surface?
Just so you know, I'm not sharing this information about crock pots so that I can knock myself or any other counter top repair specialists out of work, I just want to share things that you should already know, but probably do not know.
It's not unusual for me to be told that a homeowner thought that they could put a crock pot or any other hot thing on their solid surface countertop. I know that when I was just getting into the countertop business back in 1993, there were some salespeople that actually thought that was true. Since they thought that it was true they passed that information along to consumers. Needless to say, that came back to bite a lot of kitchen and bath people in the backside.
It also exposed the fact that while solid surface countertops are high quality, durable, and can enhance any area that they are used in, they are not now nor have they ever been indestructable. They are not now and have never been advertised as such by any of the actual manufacturers. Dupont is the pioneer of solid surface with Corian®, and I can promise you that even though the myth of indestructableness is widespread, Dupont never put it out there. In fact they have always tried very hard to be sure it was marketed properly.
I was checking stats and seeing what links people used to find my blog and website. I found this forum that is sure to drum up some work for us solid surface repair specialists. This thread is titled "Crock Pot Use" and it is located at http://www.theswap.com/BBS/ForumCook/4316.html
Things like this forum and other do it yourself type message boards give out bad information about what these countertops can and cannot take. Another thing that goes around is that you can't use crock pots on solid surface but that you can use them on stone countertops. Not true. Even stone countertops can and do crack from using Crock pots directly on them. I've even heard people say, "I have used my Crock Pot on all my countertops with no problem." To them I say, "You have been very lucky." Some people have cracked their countertop with the first use of a Crock pot directly on the countertop.
I really wanted to get on that forum and join the discussion but not enough to pay the $5.00 fee to join. Anyway, maybe I will get lucky and all the people that are taking the advice that this forum is dishing out will be North Carolina residents and then I can fix their countertops for them.

This is regarding my Corian counter tops. I have gotten a lot of good advice from this site so thought.....?
I got them in Oct of 07. I have a horrible time with even water staining them, EVERYTHING scratches just sitting there. I mean it is horrible. I am a major neat freak so it drives me nuts. I have been on the Dupont website and all the reviews for these countertops are excellent. Tips include using the very fine sand paper or a soft scrub sort of soap but I tell you I still dont think it looks right. Anyone else have this issue? Any advice? thanks.
You'll need an electric or pneumatic sander.
Sand with 220-grit sandpaper and increase the fineness of the grit until you get the preferred finish (luster).
It helps if your top is free-standing (like an island) but you can figure out the corners with common sense.
