That, and Colin's stainless steel bars idea, sounds interesting. I had
originally thought of letting a stainless steel panel into the top but
was concerned about heat transfer into the worktop making things worse.

The three options also concern me when it comes to sealing them against
water sloshing around on them. Management likes to get things wet when
she's cleaning...

Bed it in silicone sealant to hold it in place and then run a bead of
sealant round the top edge.

Sounds like the way to go.

Seal the slot with good varnish before you even think about putting anything
in.
