FAQs
What material is the cutting board made from?
The cutting board is made from high-quality polyethylene, a durable and food-safe plastic.
What are the dimensions of the cutting board?
The cutting board measures 325 mm in height, 265 mm in width, and 20 mm in depth.
Can this cutting board be washed in a dishwasher?
While polyethylene is durable, it is generally recommended to hand wash cutting boards to prolong their lifespan and prevent potential warping or damage from high heat in a dishwasher. Check the specific product manual if available for definitive guidance.
Is the red color purely aesthetic or functional?
The red color is an aesthetic choice, but it can also be functionally used in kitchens that practice color-coding for food safety to differentiate between cutting surfaces for different food types (e.g., raw meats).
Where is this cutting board manufactured?
This cutting board is made in Spain.
How should I store the cutting board when not in use?
It is best to store the cutting board upright on a counter or in a rack to allow air to circulate around it. This helps it dry completely and prevents moisture buildup.
Troubleshooting
Board feels unstable during use
Ensure the cutting board is placed on a clean, dry, and flat surface. Consider using a damp cloth or a non-slip mat underneath.
Persistent odors on the board
After washing with soap and water, try saturating the board with a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Alternatively, use a diluted vinegar solution for a quick refresh.
Visible knife marks or scratches
Minor scratches are normal wear and tear for polyethylene cutting boards. For deeper grooves, thorough cleaning and sanitizing are essential. Over time, the board may need to be replaced if the damage affects usability or hygiene.
Board appears discolored
Rinse immediately after cutting highly pigmented foods like beets or turmeric. For existing stains, try the baking soda paste method or a diluted bleach solution as described in the care instructions.
