Soapstone is inert to acids, chemicals, and heat, which means that soapstone will not stain, burn, or be harmed by acids. These properties make it very useful for a wide variety of applications such as residential and commercial kitchen and laboratory countertops, sinks and floor tiles, as well in high heat applications like firebricks for wood stoves and masonry heater construction. Soapstone is even used as cookware in the form of pots, pizza stones, griddles, and as lining material for commercial ovens.
