Someone recently told me about a product called Zodiaq, and I like it
alot.

Thanks, I will check that out. Isn't Zodiaq a form of quartz?

Zodiaq has quartz in it, but it's still a solid surfacing material.

As you probably know, it's MUCH more expensive than Corian, but it has
some distinct advantages over traditional solid surfacing, especially
for a kitchen counter. It won't burn and it won't support food-based
bacteria growth, making it excellent for food preparation.

The traditional view is that Staron is not as "good" as real hinest to
God Corian.
