Asahi Cookin Cut Rubber Cutting Board — Medium 38×21×1.3cm (15×8.3×0.5in), knife‑protecting & non‑slip

The Asahi Cookin Cut Rubber Cutting Board NE05101 is a medium-sized, soft-rubber cutting surface made in Japan designed to protect knives and resist slipping for everyday home meal prep.

Made by アサヒクッキンカット and sized at 15.0 × 8.3 × 0.5 inches (38 × 21 × 1.3 cm), this rubber board offers a balance of sturdiness and flex so you can chop, slice, and dice without dulling blades or sending the board sliding across the counter. Its compact footprint suits smaller kitchens and gives a comfortable working area for most household tasks, from vegetables and fruit to boning small cuts of meat. The Japanese manufacture and material choice emphasize quality and durability while remaining easy to clean and store.

How does this rubber cutting board protect my knives?

The rubber surface provides a slightly cushioned cutting plane that reduces friction and blade wear compared with hard plastic or wooden boards. That softer contact helps preserve edge sharpness so you sharpen less frequently. Rubber also resists deep scoring, which can harbor bacteria and accelerate blade damage.

• Gentle rubber composition minimizes blade dulling.
• Low-scoring surface reduces need for frequent sharpening.
• Even surface distributes cutting impact across the board.

Is the board stable and safe during use?

The inherent grip of rubber gives this board excellent non-slip performance on dry countertops, helping prevent accidents while you work. Its thickness balances rigidity with give, so it stays flat under normal cutting force but still absorbs impact. For added safety, place it on a slightly textured or clean, dry surface to maximize contact friction.

• Non-slip rubber reduces movement during chopping and slicing.
• 0.5-inch thickness provides stability and impact absorption.
• Flat profile sits securely on most kitchen surfaces.

How do I clean and care for the Asahi rubber board?

Rubber boards are easy to maintain: wipe with warm, soapy water after each use and rinse thoroughly. For deeper cleaning, a gentle scrub brush or non-abrasive sponge will remove residues without harming the material. Avoid prolonged soaking in very hot water and keep away from direct flame or stovetop heat.

• Hand wash with mild detergent; rinse and air dry.
• Use non-abrasive cleaners to preserve the surface.
• Avoid high heat and prolonged soaking to maintain shape.

What kitchen tasks suit this medium-sized board best?

This 38 cm by 21 cm board is ideal for everyday household tasks: prepping vegetables and fruit, carving small poultry, slicing bread, and portioning cheese. Its size fits limited countertop space while remaining large enough for most single-component prep jobs. If you regularly cook for larger groups, pair it with a larger board for bulk tasks.

• Vegetable and fruit prep for 1–4 people.
• Slicing small cuts of meat and poultry.
• Cheese and bread serving or portioning tasks.

Who is this for: Home cooks who want a reliable, knife- friendly cutting surface from a Japanese-made brand, and those with limited counter space who need a medium-sized board that stays put while offering easy care. It’s a practical choice for daily meal prep, small households, apartment kitchens, and anyone focused on preserving blade life and maintaining a tidy prep area.
