Rico & Plato Dukkah Teak Cutting Board

End-grain construction means the wood fibers run vertically rather than horizontally. This allows your knife blade to slip between the fibers rather than cutting across them, which keeps your knives sharper for longer and helps the board hide cut marks.

The board features a built-in circular cutout that houses a removable plate. You can slide it out to easily sweep scraps directly into the trash or transfer chopped ingredients into a pan without lifting the entire board.

Because it is finished with food-safe oil, you should hand wash it with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately—never soak it or put it in the dishwasher. To maintain the wood's integrity, apply a food-grade mineral oil or beeswax conditioner whenever the surface starts to look dry.

Yes, the teak used in this board is SVLK certified, ensuring it comes from legally and sustainably managed forests in Indonesia.

At 2.5 inches thick, this is a substantial, heavy-duty board. Its weight provides excellent stability, so it is unlikely to slide or shift during vigorous chopping or prep work.
