Know before you buy
The riser design elevates the board slightly off the counter, which makes it easier to pick up and move. It also aligns perfectly with a standard 9-inch dinner plate, allowing you to slide chopped ingredients directly into a pan or onto a plate without spilling.
Yes, teak is an excellent choice for cutting boards because it is relatively soft compared to harder woods or glass. It provides a knife-friendly surface that helps maintain the sharpness of your blades over time.
Hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a towel. To keep the wood from drying out, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to maintain its moisture resistance and natural luster.
Because this board is handmade from natural, sustainably sourced teak, each piece features unique grain patterns and color variations. You can expect your specific board to have its own distinct character.
Absolutely. Its elegant oval shape and natural wood finish make it a sophisticated choice for serving appetizers, cheeses, and charcuterie. The durable, moisture-resistant teak construction is well-suited for both food preparation and presentation.
