Yoshikawa Antibacterial PE Cutting Board - Small (35x20.5cm)

A plain, well made polyethylene cutting board with antibacterial agents worked through the material itself rather than sprayed on the surface, so it stays effective as the board wears in.

The PE gives slightly under the blade instead of stopping it dead, unlike glass, bamboo or hard plastic, so a thin Japanese edge holds longer between sharpenings. A fine embossed texture keeps ingredients from sliding, and at 13mm thick it is light enough to lift one handed, rinse at the sink and stand up in a cupboard.

• Antibacterial through the material: treated polyethylene that inhibits bacterial growth across the surface, for raw and cooked food alike.
• Kind to your knives: the PE absorbs blade impact rather than resisting it, so edges hold longer than they would on hard plastic or glass.
• Textured, non-slip surface: fine embossing keeps ingredients where you put them.
• Light and easy to live with: simple to move, wash and store.

Specifications

Yoshikawa works out of Tsubame in Niigata, the metalworking town that supplies a large share of Japan's kitchenware, applying traditional manufacturing knowledge to tools people use every day.

Hand wash in warm soapy water and dry properly. Not dishwasher safe, as dishwasher heat can warp the board permanently. Keep it away from flames and do not rest hot pans on it.
