John Boos Newton Prep Master III Block

Northern Hard Rock Maple is widely considered the gold standard for cutting boards because it is dense, durable, and gentle on knife edges. It resists deep scarring and is less prone to warping than softer woods, ensuring your board lasts for years with proper care.

The board features a sloped juice groove on one side that channels liquids directly into the included stainless steel catch tray. This keeps your workspace clean and allows you to easily collect juices or transfer chopped ingredients into a pan.

Yes, the board is fully reversible. One side is designed for general prep with the juice groove and catch tray, while the reverse side is shaped specifically to accommodate the included double-bladed rocker knife for efficient chopping and mincing.

Absolutely. The Newton Prep Master III is NSF-approved, meaning it meets rigorous standards for public health protection and sanitation required in professional culinary environments.

To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, you should regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or a specialized wood cream. Never put this board in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture will cause the wood to warp or split.

The professional double-bladed stainless steel rocker knife is included with your purchase, making this a complete prep station right out of the box.
