Product Information
Full details
The Basilico CounterHug Chopping Board in grey is designed for home cooks who prioritize safety and worktop protection during daily food preparation. It features a granite-look aesthetic that blends style with utility, offering a stable surface through a combination of a non-slip base and an edge lip design. While this board provides exceptional security during heavy chopping tasks, users should note that its fixed edge-lip design may not be compatible with all styles of kitchen countertops, particularly those with rounded or thick bullnose edges.

FAQs
Can I put this board in the dishwasher?
It is recommended to hand wash the board to ensure the longevity of the non-slip base and the surface finish.
Is the granite finish real stone?
No, it features a granite-look aesthetic designed to provide the style of stone with the lightweight and practical benefits of a durable composite.
Will this protect my worktop from hot pots?
Yes, it is heat resistant, making it suitable for temporary placement of warm pans, though it is not intended for long-term storage of extremely hot cookware.
Does the board work on glass worktops?
The non-slip base is designed to grip most standard kitchen surfaces, but performance may vary on extremely smooth or polished glass.
What is the primary benefit of the edge lip?
The edge lip prevents the board from sliding forward towards the user during heavy cutting or slicing tasks.
Troubleshooting
Board wobbles on the countertop
Ensure the worktop surface is clean and free of debris or grease that may interfere with the non-slip base grip.
Edge lip does not fit securely over the counter
Verify the depth of your countertop edge; the board is designed for standard flat-edged worktops and may not fit rounded or significantly oversized profiles.
Surface appearing dull
Avoid using harsh chemicals or dishwasher cycles, which can strip the finish; use a mild detergent and a soft cloth for routine cleaning.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-stability design prevents accidental slipping
- Protects countertops from heat and moisture damage
- Stylish granite-look finish matches modern kitchens
- Easy to wipe down and maintain
Cons
- Edge lip may not fit thick or rounded worktop edges
- Fixed design limits use to edge-of-counter placement
- Large footprint may occupy significant storage space
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply align the integrated lip with the edge of your countertop and press down to engage the non-slip base. Before purchasing, measure the thickness and profile of your worktop edge to ensure the lip can hook securely without interference from under-counter cupboards or drawers.
To maintain the board, wash it with warm, soapy water after each use. While the board is durable, avoid using abrasive scrubbers that might degrade the granite-look finish. Always ensure the board is thoroughly dry before storing it upright to maintain the integrity of the non-slip base material.
