{"product_id":"zero-microplastics-ultimate-hygiene","title":"Steel Cutting Board: Zero Microplastics, No Grooves","description":"Your plastic cutting board is scarred with knife grooves, and every one of those grooves is a place food, moisture and odor settle in. This one has nowhere for any of that to go. The surface is a single sheet of stainless steel with no pores, no seams and no grain. Raw chicken, garlic, onion, turmeric, beets: rinse it under the tap, wipe it dry, and the board is finished. Nothing soaks in, so nothing stays behind between one ingredient and the next.Every cut into a plastic board shaves material off it, and that material goes onto the food. There is no plastic in this board at all, so there is nothing to shed. Because steel is non-porous, it does not hold moisture the way wood does, which is what makes wood boards split, warp and grow mold at the seams. The board you have now still smells like fish or garlic no matter how many times you wash it. This one does not, because there is no grain for odor to settle into.The front edge is folded into a lip that hooks over the counter. That lip does two jobs: it stops the board sliding backward while you are pushing a knife through something firm, and it keeps the counter edge underneath it protected from knife strikes and spills. Most lightweight boards need a damp towel underneath to stay put. This one anchors itself on the counter edge.It is thin enough to live on the counter permanently rather than getting wrestled in and out of a cabinet. A lot of owners use it as an extended prep surface rather than a board they put away, and at the large size it covers most of a standard counter run. It stores flat in a cabinet or upright against a wall when you do want it gone. Scratching is normal and expected. Steel takes surface marks the way a good carbon pan does, and those marks are cosmetic. They do not create the grooves and gouges that make plastic boards a hygiene problem, because the surface stays sealed.Sizes: 60 x 40 cm (23.6 x 15.75 in), 50 x 40 cm (19.7 x 15.75 in), 40 x 30 cm (15.75 x 11.8 in). Lip depth 1 cm (0.39 in). Wipe clean with soap and water, or dishwasher. Dry after washing. A note on knives: steel is a hard surface. If you own knives you care about keeping razor sharp, use this as your workhorse board for produce, bread, dough and raw protein, and keep a wood board for your finishing knife work.","brand":"Vellvy","offers":[{"title":"60x40cm (Large)","offer_id":49227213242623,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x40cm (Medium)","offer_id":49227213275391,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40x30cm (Small)","offer_id":49227213308159,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/0753\/8431\/files\/scb_1.jpg?v=1789595507","url":"https:\/\/getvellvy.com\/products\/zero-microplastics-ultimate-hygiene","provider":"Vellvy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
