Otavilem Stainless Steel Cutting Board 40x30 cm

Overview

A stainless steel cutting and kneading board measuring 15.7 by 11.8 inches, with an L-shaped lipped edge designed to hook over a countertop corner. Suited to cooks who want a metal surface for dough, meat or produce prep that will not hold onto smells or stains the way wood or plastic boards can.

Metal cutting boards trade some of the give of wood or plastic for a nonporous surface that wipes clean and resists absorbing odor. This one adds an L-shaped 90 degree lip along one edge, meant to brace against a counter corner and keep the board from sliding during kneading or heavy chopping. At 15.7 by 11.8 inches it reads as a secondary board for dough and smaller prep tasks rather than a full replacement for a large primary cutting surface.

• 15.7 x 11.8 inch stainless steel board
• L-shaped 90 degree edge for counter stability
• Dishwasher safe, food-grade stainless
• Suited to dough, meat, fruit and vegetable prep

Who it's for

Bakers who knead dough by hand and cooks who want a stain and odor resistant surface for meat or produce prep will find this a useful secondary board. Anyone who wants a single large all-purpose board, or who prefers the softer feel of wood or plastic under a chef knife, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The stainless surface is dishwasher safe and does not absorb liquid or odor the way wood and plastic can, which matters most after handling raw meat or sticky dough. The L-shaped lip is the functional detail here: it is meant to catch a counter edge so the board stays put under the pressure of kneading, rather than sliding across the countertop.
