Description
xThirteen Chefs' Commercial Grade 20x15 Black Cutting Board is an extra-large, 1/2" thick HDPP plastic board built for heavy kitchen use and safe separation of cooked meats.
Engineered for restaurants and serious home cooks, this 20 x 15 inch cutting board combines a wide working surface with durable high-density polypropylene (HDPP) construction. At roughly 5 pounds and a full 1/2" thickness, it resists warping and holds up to daily commercial dishwashing temperatures up to 200°F. The matte black finish helps hide knife marks and is recommended by food-safety color-coding practices for cooked meats.
How durable is this board for kitchen and restaurant use?
The HDPP material provides stronger heat tolerance and impact resistance than typical polyethylene consumer boards, reducing the chance of warping under heavy use. The full 1/2" thickness adds rigidity so the board lies flat on counters and withstands frequent chopping and slicing.
- Commercial-grade high density polypropylene (HDPP)
- 1/2" thickness for stability and longevity
- Warp-resistant and BPA-free construction
- Weighs about 5 pounds for a steady cutting surface
Can I clean it in a commercial or home dishwasher?
Yes — the board is dishwasher safe up to 200°F, matching many restaurant dishwashing cycles. Measure your appliance first, as the board’s size may not fit every home dishwasher; avoid placing it near open oven heat or hot pans which can melt plastic.
- Safe in dishwashers up to 200°F
- May not fit small home dishwashers — check dimensions
- Avoid contact with open flames and hot cookware
- Serrated knives and cleavers will leave surface scars over time
Why is the board black and how should I use it?
Black is intended for cooked meat use under HACCP-style color coding and is practical for kitchens that want to hide stains and knife marks. For home grilling and steak prep, the dark surface visually complements cooked foods and reduces the appearance of wear.
- Color-coded suggestion: use for cooked meats (BBQ, roasts, sausages)
- Hides stains and knife scars for a cleaner look
- Works well in both professional and backyard grilling setups
What are the key specifications and safety notes?
The board measures 20 x 15 inches with a half-inch thickness and weighs around 5 pounds, offering a large, flat work area for multiple ingredients. It’s manufactured without BPA and uses commercial-grade HDPP, but keep it away from direct oven heat and recognize that deep knife cuts are normal with heavy use.
- Dimensions: 20" x 15" x 0.5"; weight ≈ 5 lb
- Material: high density polypropylene (HDPP), BPA-free
- Dishwasher safe up to 200°F; not heatproof against hot cookware
- Surface will score over time with serrated knives and cleavers
