Granite is considered the best choice for outdoor kitchen countertops. Granite is a natural stone that is both durable and beautiful. It comes in a variety of colors and patterns as well. Granite isn’t damaged by heat, and if it is properly sealed, it is resistant to stains, mildew, and mold, all of which can be a huge problem outdoors.

Concrete is a great option for outdoor kitchens, because it can withstand the elements. To prevent staining, you will need to use a sealant on concrete countertops, installation is very important for concrete countertops it can crack if not done correctly. Concrete chips and scratches easier than Granite, but it holds up well to the elements.

Quartzite is very similar to granite, which means that it is hard and durable. It can hold up to the weather conditions as well as prolonged exposure to the sun.

Natural stones can be good outdoor kitchen countertop options. If it is dense and heat-resistant it’s less likely to fade in the sun or rain, and it’s stain resistant.
