Full details
The Stellar Chopping Board is an essential kitchen tool designed for home cooks who value durability and aesthetic appeal. Crafted from high-quality wood, it provides a stable and robust surface for daily food preparation tasks like chopping, slicing, and dicing, while its elegant finish makes it ideal for serving charcuterie or appetizers. The primary caveat for this board is that it requires hand washing only and consistent oil maintenance to prevent the wood from drying or cracking over time.

FAQs
Can I use this board for raw meat?
Yes, but it is recommended to maintain separate boards for raw meat and produce to avoid cross-contamination.
Is the Stellar Chopping Board dishwasher safe?
No. Dishwashers use intense heat and moisture that will warp, crack, and permanently damage the wood.
How often should I oil the board?
For heavy use, oil the board once a month. For moderate use, every few months or whenever the wood appears light and dry.
What type of oil should I use?
Use only food-grade mineral oil or specific butcher block oil. Avoid vegetable or olive oils as they can turn rancid over time.
Can I cut directly on the board?
Yes, it is designed specifically for chopping and slicing activities.
What are the exact dimensions?
The board measures 47cm in length, 23cm in width, and 2cm in thickness.
Troubleshooting
Board surface feels dry or rough
Apply a generous layer of food-grade mineral oil, allow it to soak in overnight, and wipe off any excess in the morning.
Stains or lingering odors
Rub the surface with a slice of lemon and a little coarse salt, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
