marble slab
Cool pastry workspace
A marble slab is a flat, heavy piece of marble used as a work surface or decorative element.
In baking, pastry chefs favor marble slabs because the stone stays cool, ideal for working butter into dough.
Marble slabs also appear as countertops, tabletops, and in mortuaries where bodies are prepared.
