The 10 Best Marble Pastry Boards

With an ample 20-inch by 16-inch working area, the Sur La Table Pastry Board (about $56) gives you more than enough room to roll out dough and craft all of your dessert confections. And at three-quarters of an inch thick, it's both stable and effective.

You can count on the Kota Japan Premium (around $40) to last you far into the future, as the company invests in extensive quality testing and offers an unconditional lifetime warranty. Plus, the sleek black granite is sure to catch the eye of anyone who enters your kitchen.

The Creative Co-Op Round (about $38) is simple and not at all flashy, which makes it a fine option not just for sweet treat preparation but also for display, especially in those instances where you don't want the accessory to overwhelm the objects on top of it.

Your friends will be emerald with envy when you choose the Fox Run Green (about $40), a strikingly elegant option that doesn't need to be hidden away in a cupboard when not in use. It's plenty usable, too, with a 12-inch by 16-inch surface area.

Although the Creative Home Genuine (about $18) bills itself as a serving board, it's crafted from 100 percent marble stone and would work fine for rolling out smaller crusts or doughs. Of course, you could serve cheese on it just as easily.

You'll get 10 pounds of genuine marble with the Kitchen Collection White (around $32), a rectangular choice that's 16 inches long. It cleans up easily and has not been coated with any chemicals or unnatural polishes that could be potentially damaging to your health.

Thanks to its shape, the Fox Run Paddle Board (around $58) is versatile, moving from prep to table with ease. In fact, one side has a scratch-resistant matte finish for light cutting, while the other side is polished for preparing dough and serving.

If you can live with the handles while you're wielding your rolling pin, the Alchemade 21-Inch (around $50) is long enough to be useful in preparing a variety of desserts. Once the foods are ready, the handles become more practical, as you can easily carry it to the table.

The ElfRhino Hexagon (around $54) gives you twice the texture, as it's crafted from both agglomerated marble and acacia wood. You can even choose which you'd rather have as the main material, in case you only need a small area of marble for working.

Totally food-safe, the Bloomingville Rectangle (about $41) is a combo tray/prep board that measures 18 inches long and is about half an inch thick. Its grey coloring is attractive, which means you can leave it out on your counter instead of stashing it away in a cabinet.
