My partner got me the metal prep station because wood holds bacteria. Best addition to the house if you hate stained plastics. 10/10.
One size: 18.1" × 11.8" (46 × 30 cm), 15mm thick. A full-size prep board with a cut-in handle at one end so it hangs or slides away.
| Get this one if | Look at the Chopping Board instead if |
|---|---|
| You want something slim and flat that stores easily — upright in a cupboard, or hung on a hook | You want a raised non-slip hem that grips the benchtop |
| You'll carry it to the bin or the stove — the handle matters and it's lighter to lift | You need a choice of two sizes, including a larger 50 × 40 cm |
| You're replacing a plastic board of about the same footprint | The board will live permanently on the bench and never move |
Plenty of kitchens end up with both — the Chopping Board for meat and heavy prep, this one for everything else.
You only make this decision once, so it's worth thinking through:
| Board | How it ends |
|---|---|
| Plastic | Knife grooves you can't scrub clean. Warps in the dishwasher. Stains permanently. Replaced every year or two. |
| Wood | Handsome, but needs oiling, can't go in the dishwasher, and splits if it stays wet. |
| SUS304 stainless | Non-porous, so nothing gets in. Dishwasher daily without warping. It doesn't end — that's the entire argument. |
On your knives: the surface is smooth, not abrasive, so it won't chip an edge. Over years it will dull a blade faster than end-grain timber — if you own a carbon-steel knife you're precious about, keep a wooden board for that and use this for everything else.
Warped from the dishwasher. Stained past recovery. Grooves deep enough that you stopped thinking too hard about what's living in them. The Stainless Steel Cutting Board replaces all of that permanently — one board, and then you stop buying boards.

Plastic boards get replaced. This one doesn't. The non-porous stainless surface has no grooves to harbour bacteria, no odours to absorb, and no stains to hide — raw chicken and turmeric leave exactly as much trace as water does. It wipes clean in seconds, goes in the dishwasher without warping, and looks like professional kit on the benchtop.
At 15mm it's slim and flat, which is the practical difference: it stores upright in a cupboard, slides into a gap beside the fridge, and the cut-in handle means you can carry a board of scraps to the bin one-handed.
