Cutting board Stalgast 342500

A wooden cutting board provides a stable, knife-friendly surface for chopping, slicing and preparing ingredients in a professional kitchen. Unlike hard materials that dull blades quickly, wood absorbs the impact of the knife edge, reducing wear and maintaining sharpness over repeated use. The natural grain of the timber also helps to grip food lightly, preventing slippage while the cook works.

To use the board, place it on a clean, level worktop. Ingredients are laid directly onto the surface and cut with a chef's knife or cleaver. The board's weight keeps it steady during vigorous chopping, while its smooth finish allows food to be pushed or scraped easily into bowls or pans. After use, the board is lifted and carried to the sink for cleaning.

The Stalgast board is constructed from solid hardwood, chosen for its density and resistance to splitting. The edges are left square, giving a clear boundary for food and preventing spills onto the worktop. No coatings or treatments are applied, so the wood remains food-safe and free from chemicals that could transfer to ingredients.

Measuring 500 mm by 300 mm, the board fits comfortably on most worktops without overhanging hobs or sinks. Its footprint is large enough for bulk preparation of vegetables, meat or fish, yet compact enough to store upright in a cupboard or on a shelf when not in use.

Cleaning is straightforward: wash the board with hot water and mild detergent, then stand it on its edge to air-dry. Regular oiling with food-grade mineral oil helps to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking over time. Avoid soaking the board or running it through a dishwasher, as prolonged moisture can cause warping.
