Asahi Antibacterial Rubber Cutting Board
Asahi Antibacterial Rubber Cutting Board
The Asahi Antibacterial Rubber Cutting Board is an excellent choice for cooks who prioritise a completely flat, hygienic, and low-maintenance surface. Unlike traditional textured boards, the Asahi board features a smooth, non-porous synthetic rubber surface that prevents food accumulation and bacterial growth.
Renowned in professional Japanese kitchens, this board offers a unique "wood-like" feedback that is firm yet forgiving, protecting the sharp edges of high-quality knives. Its antibacterial properties and low water absorption make it one of the most hygienic options available for home use.
This board is available in multiple sizes. Please select your desired size from the options.
What's Included
- 1 x Asahi Antibacterial Rubber Cutting Board (Size selected at purchase)
Key Features
- Smooth, Non-Porous Surface: The completely flat design eliminates textured grooves where bacteria and food particles often hide, making cleaning effortless.
- Superior Knife Protection: The synthetic rubber material provides a cushioned "wood-like" feel that absorbs impact, keeping knife edges sharper for longer.
- Hygienic & Antibacterial: SIAA-certified (ISO 22196) antibacterial material that resists mould and bacterial growth.
- Low Water Absorption: The rubber sheds water and dries quickly, so it does not hold juices or odours.
- Stable Cutting Platform: Offers the weight and stability of a high-end wooden board without the high maintenance requirements.
Care Instructions
- Hand Wash Only: Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, wipe dry and stand upright to air-dry.
- Dishwasher Safe: No. Exposure to high heat in a dishwasher may cause the board to warp.
- Hot-Water Sanitising: Heat-resistant to 100°C, so boiling water may be poured over it — lay the board flat and treat both sides so it does not warp.
- Bleach Safe: Can be cleaned with diluted bleach for occasional deep sanitisation and stain removal.
- Renewable Surface: A worn surface can be sanded back with fine sandpaper.
- Knife Compatibility: Avoid using with heavy choppers or serrated knives, as they may damage the rubber surface.
- Storage: Store flat or standing straight up; left leaning at an angle, the board slowly bows under its own weight.
