Hasegawa Pro-PE Wood Core Cutting Board - FPEL Series (Black)
The Hasegawa FPEL Series (Black Edition) is a professional-grade cutting board designed for precision and high contrast. Unlike the softer FSR series, this board features a Polyethylene (PE) surface that is slightly harder, providing the stability and smooth feedback required for delicate tasks like slicing sushi and sashimi.
The board is constructed with Hasegawa's signature wood core, which prevents warping and reduces weight by approximately 30-50% compared to solid plastic boards. The black surface offers excellent visual contrast, making it easier to see ingredients clearly during preparation. It is fully dishwasher safe and bleach compatible for superior hygiene.
This board is available in multiple sizes. Please select your desired size from the options.
What's Included
- 1 x Hasegawa Pro-PE Wood Core Cutting Board - FPEL Series (Black) (Size selected at purchase)
Key Features
- High-Contrast Black Surface: The black colour helps ingredients stand out visually, making it ideal for precision work and professional presentation.
- Precision PE Surface: The Polyethylene surface is firmer than soft rubber, allowing for smooth, fluid slicing motions essential for sashimi and delicate cuts.
- Rigid Wood Core: A sterilised wood core ensures the board remains rigid and warp-resistant, even during high-temperature dishwasher cleaning.
- Hygienic & Antibacterial: The surface is SIAA-certified antibacterial and fully sealed to prevent fluid absorption.
- Lightweight Handling: Significantly lighter than solid plastic boards, reducing wrist strain and making it easy to wash and store.
Care Instructions
- Dishwasher Safe: Safe for commercial and home dishwashers — run at 90°C or lower, and no longer than 90 seconds at that temperature; hotter or longer cycles can deform or peel the surface.
- Bleach Safe: Can be cleaned with diluted bleach to remove stubborn stains and ensure deep sanitisation. For stuck-on grease or flour, dampen with lukewarm water and scrub in small circles with a brush first.
- Knife Compatibility: Not for hard or heavy chopping; avoid serrated knives and cleavers. Stop using the board if the wood core ever becomes visible.
- Scratches Are Normal: Knife marks show more readily on a black surface than on a white one. They are cosmetic and do not affect the board; Hasegawa does not accept returns for surface abrasion.
