MARBLE
BOARDS
You
may hear the terms Marble Boards, Marble Slabs, Granite
Slabs. They
are all basically the same thing.
A Marble Slab is made out of Marble and is about
and inch thick, a Granite Slab is made out of Granite and
is also about 1” thick, the Marble Board is only about a
¼” thick. The
Marble Boards, Marble Slabs, and Granite Slabs can all be
used to make candy.
When I first started making
candy, I didn't have a marble board and I tried cutting
costs by using a glass cake pan to stir the fondant
in. It was an extremely long and laborious
process. I finally invested in a granite slab and
couldn't believe how much easier it was to make
fondant. I heard marble was a better stone for candy
making and after testing it side by side with the granite
slab, I discovered I liked the marble board better.
The bonus to the marble board is that it is much lighter
than the granite slab. I make all my candies on this
marble board.
I love this marble board and I'm sure you will too.
