Cutting Board METALTEX 561304000 Acacia Wood oiled surface with juice groove, 240×200 mm

METALTEX 561304000 cutting board is made from oiled acacia wood and measures 240×200 mm. The board includes an integrated juice groove that captures liquids while slicing fruits, vegetables or meats. Its compact rectangular size is suited for everyday kitchen tasks and provides a natural wood surface that combines durability with moderate water resistance. Regular maintenance with food-safe oil helps preserve the surface and the colour of the acacia wood.

Advantages

The oiled acacia surface offers a hard-wearing cutting area that resists moderate moisture and reduces staining compared with untreated wood. The integrated juice groove prevents excess liquid from spreading across the countertop, keeping the preparation area cleaner. The board’s size and thickness make it stable during cutting and easy to store in standard kitchen cabinets.

Suitable for

• Chopping fruits and vegetables
• Slicing cooked or raw meats
• Everyday food preparation in home kitchens
• Serving small portions or as a compact carving board

When it may not be suitable

This acacia cutting board is not intended for dishwasher cleaning; exposure to prolonged soaking or high dishwasher temperatures may warp or crack the wood. It is also relatively small for large-batch meal preparation or for cutting very large joints of meat where a larger board would be safer and more practical.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 240 × 200 mm
• Feature: integrated juice groove

How to use

Place the cutting board on a stable, dry surface before use. Use the flat side for general chopping and the side with the juice groove when cutting items that release liquids to contain spills.

What to consider before purchase

• Board size (240×200 mm) relative to your available prep space and typical tasks
• Maintenance requirement: periodic application of food-safe oil to maintain the finish
• Not dishwasher-safe; requires hand washing and immediate drying
• Natural wood will show knife marks over time which can be sanded and re-oiled

Usage recommendations

For long service life, treat the board with food-safe mineral oil every few weeks depending on use, avoid prolonged exposure to water, and trim deep knife grooves by light sanding followed by re-oiling. Use separate boards for raw meat and ready-to-eat foods to reduce cross-contamination.
