Thirteen Chefs Commercial Plastic Cutting Board 20x15 in, 1/2" Thick — White HDPP, Dishwasher-Safe

Thirteen Chefs Commercial Grade 20x15 Plastic Cutting Board is an extra-large, 1/2-inch thick HDPP prep surface built for heavy kitchen use. This heavy-duty cutting board gives restaurants, catering operations and serious home cooks a durable, sanitary workspace that stands up to daily use. Sized 20 by 15 inches and weighing about 5 pounds, the board balances a roomy surface with enough heft to stay put during cutting tasks. Constructed from high-density polypropylene (HDPP) in a solid white finish, it’s designed to resist warping, tolerate commercial dishwashers and meet food-service standards.

How does this board perform under daily restaurant use?

The HDPP material is formulated for frequent, intensive use without deforming from heat or regular washing. It carries NSF-level suitability for food service and is made to endure dishwashers up to 200°F, helping kitchens maintain cleanliness and throughput.

• HDPP construction resists warping and holds shape over time
• Rated to tolerate commercial dishwashers up to 200°F
• Solid white color simplifies visual sanitation checks
• Weighs ~5 lb for stability during heavy chopping

Can I use this board for different food types safely?

The board’s neutral color and durable plastic surface make it suitable for fruits, vegetables, meats, and fish. While the board itself is made to be sanitary and easy to clean, routine sanitation practices and color-coding protocols still help prevent cross-contamination in busy kitchens.

• Solid white surface for clear visual inspection
• Non-porous plastic reduces bacterial absorption compared with wood
• Recommended to follow facility hygiene and color-coding procedures
• Knife marks are normal; replace when deep grooves form

What are the limits and care instructions for longevity?

The board tolerates high dishwashing temperatures but is not heatproof against direct contact with hot pans or open flame. Knives, especially serrated blades and cleavers, will create surface marks over time; that’s expected and does not indicate product failure.

• Dishwasher-safe up to 200°F; safe for commercial dishwashers
• Do not expose to hot pans or ovens — high heat will melt plastic
• Surface will scar from heavy knife use; replace when grooves compromise cleaning
• Hand-washing is fine; dry thoroughly before storage to prevent slipping

Why choose a 1/2" thick 20x15-inch board instead of thinner or smaller options?

A half-inch thickness adds rigidity and weight so the board resists curling and sliding during high-force cuts. The 20×15 footprint offers a large surface that reduces the need to shuffle ingredients between tasks, streamlining prep for multiple items at once.

• 1/2" thickness provides a stable, flat cutting plane
• 20x15-inch area accommodates large vegetables and multi-item prep
• Extra weight improves on-counter stability for safer cutting
• Commercial-grade material better withstands daily kitchen workflows

Who is this for?

If you run a restaurant, food truck, catering business or maintain a busy household kitchen, this board offers a practical, professional-grade prep surface. It’s aimed at cooks who need a large, sanitary, and low-maintenance board that meets food-service expectations without frequent replacement. Choose this Thirteen Chefs board when you want a white, commercial-quality cutting surface that balances size, durability and ease of cleaning.
