Proteak Carving Board

Yes. Teak is a naturally knife-friendly wood with a moderate hardness that allows blades to bite slightly into the surface rather than dulling against it. This helps maintain your knife's edge sharpness significantly longer than plastic or glass boards.

While the lack of a juice groove offers a larger, uninterrupted flat surface for chopping and serving, you will need to be mindful of runoff when carving very juicy roasts. We recommend resting your meat on a separate platter or placing the board on a rimmed baking sheet if you anticipate significant liquid release.

No. Like all high-quality wood cutting boards, this should be hand-washed only. Dishwasher heat and moisture cycles will cause the wood to warp, crack, or split over time.

At 24 by 18 inches and 1.5 inches thick, this is a substantial, heavy-duty board designed to stay put on your counter. While it has significant heft, the integrated hand grips on the sides make it much easier to lift and transport from the counter to the table.

No, this board does not have non-slip feet. Because it is reversible, both sides are designed to be used as a cutting surface. If you find it slides during heavy chopping, placing a damp kitchen towel underneath the board is a simple and effective solution to keep it stable.

To keep the wood from drying out, you should apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner every few weeks, or whenever the wood starts to look pale and thirsty. Regular oiling prevents cracking and helps seal the wood against moisture and bacteria.
