[Avodah] kashering caeser stone

[Eli Turkel]

The CRC permits kashering Caesar stone countertops
http://www.crcweb.org/kosher/consumer/passover/supervision.html  [see
also http://www.kashrut.com/Passover/crc2007_KASHERING.pdf]
while Rabbi Eidlits of Kosherquest forbids
http://www.kosherquest.net/index.asp?theaction=passoverguide.
Has anyone heard more on the subject?>>

Rabbi Eidlits claims that caeserstone is only 93% stone. Anyone know
what else is in there? However, many modern materials are composites.
Does anyone claim that steel is not a "matechet" because it
has other ingredients like
carbon besides iron? The Torah lists gold and silver as
"matechet" however one cannot use pure gold or silver as
they are too weak. All gold and silver materials (even 24
karat gold) has to have some other materials to strengthen them
