Shun Cutlery Medium Hinoki Cutting Board for Japanese Kitchen, 15.75 x 10.75

Enhance your culinary preparation and safeguard your knife collection with the Shun Cutlery Medium Hinoki Cutting Board. Crafted from Hinoki, a form of medium-soft Japanese cypress famous for its exquisite appearance and natural aroma, this cutting board offers a gentle surface that "gives" as you cut, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the sharp edges of your Shun fine cutlery. Measuring 15.75 by 10.75 inches, its medium size is ideal for various food preparation tasks while being compact enough for easy storage when it is not in use.

To ensure optimal performance and to help prevent staining, remember to wet the board before each use. For cleaning, use a mild detergent and towel dry it right after, then let it air dry away from direct sunlight. If you encounter any stains, you can effectively clean them by rubbing a cut lemon directly on the affected area. Notably, both sides of this cutting board are functional for food preparation, and if you notice any curvature, simply flip it over and use the other side until it re-flattens. It's important to note that the board is not dishwasher-safe.

This attention to both quality and sustainability makes it a wise choice for those looking to enhance their kitchen tools while being conscious about eco-friendly practices.

When it comes to care, the cutting board requires simple yet effective maintenance. Remember to wet it prior to each use for better resistance to stains. Following that, a wash with mild detergent, towel drying, and air drying in a shaded area will keep it in prime condition. In the case of stubborn stains, a cut lemon proves to be a handy natural remedy.
