FAQs
Can I put this board in the dishwasher?
No, this board must never be placed in a dishwasher, as the heat and water will damage the wood and compromise the glued joints.
What does GN 1/1 mean?
It refers to the Gastronorm standard size of 530 x 325 mm, which is the industry standard for professional kitchen containers and prep equipment.
Do I need to oil this board before first use?
It is highly recommended to apply a coat of food-safe mineral oil before the first use to seal the wood fibers.
Is this board safe for raw meat?
Yes, but it is recommended to dedicate one board for meat and one for vegetables to prevent cross-contamination, as wood is a porous material.
Will this board dull my knives?
No, wooden boards are generally softer on knife edges than glass, stone, or hard plastic surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Board surface feels dry or rough
Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a generous coat of food-grade mineral oil.
Board is slipping during use
Place a damp kitchen towel or a silicone mat underneath the board to increase friction against the countertop.
Stains or odors have set into the wood
Rub the affected area with a cut lemon and coarse salt, let it sit for a few minutes, rinse lightly, and dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This cutting board is designed to drop perfectly into standard Gastronorm 1/1 sized workstations. To ensure longevity, never submerge the board in water or place it in a dishwasher, as high moisture and heat will cause the glued wood to expand and split. After each use, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then immediately pat dry. Periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil to keep the wood supple and prevent stains from penetrating the fibers. Store the board vertically in a dry area to allow even air circulation on both sides.
