FAQs
Is this board suitable for raw meat?
Yes, the hygienic plastic material is suitable for raw meat. For best practice in preventing cross-contamination, it is recommended to use dedicated boards for different food types. If using this board for raw meat, wash it thoroughly or run it through the dishwasher immediately after use.
Can I use this board with all types of knives?
Yes, this board is compatible with all standard kitchen knives, including chef's knives, paring knives, and utility knives.
How do I ensure the non-slip feet work effectively?
Ensure both the rubber feet and the countertop surface are clean and dry. Any moisture or debris can reduce the effectiveness of the non-slip grip.
What are the dimensions of the chopping board?
The dimensions are approximately 42.5cm in length, 25.5cm in width, and 1.1cm in thickness.
Does the blue color have a specific food use?
While this is a blue board, the product line offers various colors intended for different food types to prevent taste mixing. Blue is typically designated for raw fish in a color-coding system.
Will this board stain easily?
The durable plastic is designed to resist staining. However, highly pigmented foods like beets or turmeric may cause temporary discoloration. Regular cleaning, especially dishwasher cycles, helps maintain its appearance.
Is the plastic BPA-free?
The product description specifies it is hygienic and food-safe, which implies it meets safety standards for food contact materials. Specific certifications like BPA-free are not detailed but it's designed for safe food preparation.
Troubleshooting
Board feels unstable during use
Ensure the non-slip rubber feet are clean and dry. Check that the countertop surface is also clean and dry. If feet are damaged, consider replacement.
Persistent odors after chopping strong-smelling foods
Despite being odor-resistant, very strong foods might leave a trace. Run the board through a hot dishwasher cycle, or scrub with a paste of baking soda and water, letting it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing.
Light knife marks appearing on the surface
This is normal wear for a cutting board. Light marks are expected and do not compromise the board's integrity or hygiene. If marks become excessively deep, consider replacing the board.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This chopping board requires no setup out of the box. Simply wash it before its first use.
