DisplayPrep Essential vs. a regular cutting board

Why use this board instead of a regular cutting board?

It looks like a cutting board, but it's built like a piece of kitchen equipment. Here are 10 reasons it's worth it.

  1. 01

    Room to really work

    24 × 18 in of cutting surface, about twice the size of a typical kitchen board. Chop a whole meal's worth of vegetables without running out of room.

  2. 02

    NSF-certified surface

    A ½ in commercial-grade HDPE board, NSF certified for food contact: the same kind of material professional kitchens rely on.

  3. 03

    Kind to your knives

    HDPE is forgiving on blades, so it won't dull your knives prematurely the way glass, stone or bamboo boards can.

  4. 04

    Never slides, never scratches

    Four silicone feet grip the counter, so there's no more damp towel under the board and no scratched countertops.

  5. 05

    Carry it by the handles

    Two carry handles let you lift the whole board, prep and all, to the stove, the grill or the table without spilling.

  6. 06

    Stays flat and supported

    The board is mounted on an extruded aluminum frame that supports it and keeps it from sagging, even under heavy carving.

  7. 07

    Nothing to catch your blade

    Every screw is countersunk flush with the surface, so there's nothing to nick a knife edge or trap food.

  8. 08

    Easy to clean and sanitize

    Warm soapy water for everyday cleaning. A little kitchen bleach on a cloth lifts stains, and there's no oiling or special care like a wooden board needs.

  9. 09

    Built to last

    A thick board, a solid aluminum frame and stainless hardware, handmade and backed by a 1-year warranty.

  10. 10

    Handmade in the USA

    Every board is built by hand in Tamarac, Florida, and ships within 72 hours.

Care & maintenance

Look after your board and it will serve you for years

A pot of boiling vegetables standing on a DisplayPrep board, crossed out with a large red X: never put hot pots on the board

Never put hot pots or pans on the board

The cutting surface is polyethylene. Heat above 150°F melts and permanently warps it. Keep it away from hot pots, pans, ovens, grills and stovetops. Warranty doesn't cover heat damage.

The board

  • Wash with warm water, dish soap and a cloth or scrubbing sponge.
  • It's too large for a home dishwasher, so wash it by hand.
  • For stains, wipe on a little kitchen bleach with a cloth, wipe it off, then rinse and wash with soap and water.
  • Any cleaner approved for kitchen use is fine.
  • Avoid hard knocks on the edges and corners, which can dent the board for good.
  • Knife marks build up with use. That's normal for any cutting board.
