Kinto Taku Serving Board

No, this board is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the bamboo and the urethane coating, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.

The urethane coating provides a protective layer that helps minimize staining from oils and food, but it does not make the wood impervious. We recommend wiping up spills promptly to keep the bamboo looking its best.

The slightly tapered base is designed for ergonomics, making it easier to grip and lift the board from a flat surface. It adds a subtle functional detail that makes serving and clearing the table more comfortable.

Yes, it is perfectly suitable for serving warm items like fresh bread. However, it is not microwave safe, and you should avoid placing extremely hot cookware directly on the surface to protect the finish.

Beyond hand washing, you can occasionally treat the board with a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner to keep the bamboo hydrated and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
