Cutting board METALTEX Akazie oiled surface with juice groove, model 561308000

The METALTEX Cutting board in oiled acacia wood (model 561308000) is a medium-size chopping surface with an oiled finish and an integrated juice groove. It is intended for everyday kitchen tasks such as slicing vegetables, cutting meat and bread, providing a stable, knife-friendly wooden work surface. The natural acacia material offers a warm appearance and moderate hardness while the oiled surface helps reduce moisture penetration and surface staining when maintained correctly.

Advantages

The oiled acacia surface provides a balance of durability and gentleness toward knife edges, and the applied oil improves resistance to water and food stains compared with untreated wood. The integrated juice groove collects liquids released during slicing, helping to keep the countertop clean. The board’s solid construction offers stable contact with the work surface and a tactile, natural finish that complements many kitchen styles.

Suitable for

• Slicing and chopping vegetables and fruits
• Cutting raw or cooked meat with attention to cross-contamination practices
• Slicing bread and serving cheeses
• Everyday household kitchen preparation

When it may not be suitable

This wooden cutting board is not designed for dishwasher use; exposure to high heat and prolonged water immersion can warp or crack the board. It may not be the best choice where colour-critical or allergen-free single-use cutting surfaces are required (for example in professional kitchens that require separate, colour-coded plastic boards for specific food groups).

Key specifications

• Material: acacia wood with oiled surface
• Design feature: integrated juice groove to collect liquids
• Intended use: general kitchen cutting and slicing
• Surface finish: protective food-grade oil treatment
• Shape and size: medium-sized rectangular board suitable for countertop use

How to use

Place the board on a dry, flat countertop before use. Use it for slicing vegetables, bread and meat while avoiding prolonged soaking or exposure to running water. After use, remove food residues and wash by hand with warm water and mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately. Periodically treat the surface with a food-safe cutting board oil to maintain the protective finish and limit drying or cracking.

What to consider before purchase

• Wood requires regular oiling and hand washing; not dishwasher-safe
• Consider separate boards for raw meat and ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross-contamination
• Acacia is moderately hard and may show knife marks over time; maintenance can restore appearance
• Ensure the medium rectangular size fits your countertop and storage space

Usage recommendations

For longer service life, dry the board upright after washing, apply a thin layer of food-grade oil once a month or as needed, and use separate boards or thorough cleaning between raw meat and other foods to maintain hygiene.
