Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that 1/4" thick (or thicker) sheet
aluminum has some possibilities for a countertop.

It might work for you.

If you have any cookware with aluminum bottoms
and you slide it across the aluminum countertop
expect an ugly mess.

AL against AL is never good.

Just make sure the countertop has a nice coating of lard. ;-)
