In einem Pastarezept:

"On a cool slab, form the white flour and the semolina into a mound with a well in the centre."

  -> danke, Anja

agree  David Moore: Agree with Arbeitsplatte - a "-platte" definitely suggests a "slab".

  -> good point, David, thanks, I made the "amendment"

agree  Sabine Schlottky
2 hrs
  -> changed it to Arbeitsplatte, thanks, Sabine

agree  Cetacea: mit "Arbeitsplatte". Meistens sind solche "cool slabs" tatsächlich aus Marmor, sie können aber auch aus Granit sein.
2 hrs
  -> yes, def. Arbeitsplatte, see my note; thanks, Cetacea

agree  Amphyon: yes, the final answer works best!

  -> thank you very much Amphyon, I know it had to be changed

agree  Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers.: Ich kenne das tatsächlich als Marmorplatte, denn die behält die Temperatur schön gleichmäßig bei.
5 hrs
  -> yes, that would definitely make sense then ; thanks, Irene
