Know before you buy
Yes. Teak wood is naturally gentle on knife edges, meaning it will help maintain your blade's sharpness longer compared to harder materials like glass or stone.
Hand wash the board with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately. To keep the wood from drying out and to maintain its moisture resistance, apply a food-safe mineral oil periodically.
No, this board is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and moisture levels in a dishwasher can cause the wood to warp or crack, so hand washing is required.
The hole serves as a convenient handle for carrying the board from your prep area to the stove. It also allows you to hang the board on a wall hook for easy storage or display.
Yes. Every Teakhaus board is crafted from tropical teak wood sourced from FSC-certified plantations in Mexico, ensuring the wood is harvested responsibly.
Absolutely. Edge grain construction is highly durable and designed to withstand the rigors of daily kitchen prep while resisting deep cuts and moisture absorption.
