I like white Corian counters to work on. Corian doesn't win the heat
resistance award. The cabinet box that will be alongside the range is
12-1/4" wide. I could give that section a stone countertop, and somehow
have it meet nicely with the Corian. That box could have a lower height to
match the surface with the 1/2" thick Corian.

It seems that granite is the most heat resistant. Or is there some rare
stone or other material known for its heat resistance? I would think that
the thicker the more resistant. Are there thicker countertop thickness
options?

Stainless steel?
