Cutting board made of beech wood with practical juice channel
Beech cutting boards are a popular choice among home and professional chefs alike due to several features that set them apart from other types of cutting boards:
-
Durability: Beech is a hard and dense type of wood, making it more resistant to knife cuts and scratches. This means that with proper care, a beech cutting board can last for many years.
-
Hygiene: Beech has a closed wood surface, which makes it less susceptible to moisture and germ formation. This makes it a good choice for cutting boards as it ensures a clean and hygienic surface for food preparation.
-
Knife friendliness: Beech has a dense, hard surface that is gentle on knife blades and helps keep them sharper for longer.
-
Aesthetics: Beech is a beautiful wood species with a light wood grain, making it a stylish and attractive addition to any kitchen.
-
Sustainability: Beech is one of the most readily available types of wood in Europe, making it an environmentally friendly choice for a cutting board.
In addition, the juice channel is ideal for collecting the juice from the food to be sliced, so that the surface does not get too wet and the work surface remains clean.
