Oval Wooden Cutting Board 45 × 30 cm with Perimeter Groove

This oval wooden board is intended for two core tasks: preparing ingredients and presenting finished food. Its 45 × 30 cm format provides room for cutting several ingredients, handling larger pieces of meat, or arranging a complete dish on one surface. The flowing outline and natural wood pattern also suit table presentation, allowing the board to be used for grilled meat, sliced meat, bread, fruit, vegetables, or appetisers.

Working-surface design

• Size: 45 × 30 cm.
• Material: natural wood.
• Shape: an elongated oval with a rounded outline.
• Surface: level and smoothly finished, with visible wood grain.
• Edge detail: a shallow groove follows the perimeter of the working side.
• Design: no handle or hanging hole.

The central area has no fixed compartments, so it can be organised to suit the job at hand. During step-by-step preparation, whole ingredients can remain at one end while cut pieces are kept at the other. The groove sits close to the edge and leaves the main plane open for knife work. It can collect crumbs and small drops of juice, but its shallow profile is not intended to hold a substantial amount of liquid.

From preparation to presentation

The smooth plane can be used for cutting meat, vegetables, and fruit. Its elongated layout allows ingredients to be arranged along the length, separates prepared food from items still waiting to be cut, and leaves part of the surface available for the knife. Before use, the board should be placed on a level, dry worktop and checked for stable contact with the surface.

For serving, the full area may hold one large dish, or several appetisers can be arranged in sequence along the board. Because the centre is not divided, the presentation can be adapted to grilled meat, cold cuts, bread, vegetables, fruit, or a combination of foods. After contact with raw ingredients, the board must be cleaned before it is used with ready-to-eat food.

Caring for natural wood

Wash the board by hand using a soft sponge and a regular dishwashing product. Food residue should be removed from both the main plane and the groove around the perimeter. Metal brushes, hard scouring pads, and abrasive cleaners may scratch the finished wood and are unsuitable for this surface. The board should not be left soaking in water or placed in a dishwasher.

After washing, wipe the surface and allow it to dry completely with air reaching both faces. Storage space must accommodate the board's full length and width because its design does not provide a hanging point. After preparing raw meat, fish, or seafood, clean the central area and perimeter groove especially thoroughly. When additional treatment is needed, use a product intended for wooden kitchen utensils and follow its directions.
