Thirteen Chefs Extra Large Cutting Board Mats 24 x 18in - 4-Pack White HDPE, Flexible & NSF-Grade

These Thirteen Chefs extra-large cutting board mats are flexible, commercial-grade HDPE sheets (24 x 18", 1/16") sold in a convenient four-pack for foodservice and event prep.

Lightweight but sturdy, these white plastic cutting mats give you a low-cost, disposable-capable alternative to bulky boards. Made from NSF-grade HDPE, the sheets resist punctures and provide a smooth, food-safe work surface that can be bent to funnel ingredients or to move chopped items without a heavy transfer board. Their extra size accommodates large tasks and their white color makes them versatile for catering, weddings, food trucks, and busy kitchens.

How do these mats perform for heavy kitchen use?

The mats are manufactured from commercial HDPE plastic that stands up to repeated chopping and food prep better than thin consumer plastics. At 1/16" thickness they balance flexibility with resilience, reducing the risk of tears or punctures during regular use. They won’t replace a thick hardwood board for heavy cleaving, but they excel for high-volume prep, plating, and event service.

• NSF-grade HDPE construction for food-safe contact
• 1/16" thickness offers puncture resistance over thin disposable mats
• Large 24 x 18" surface handles bulk chopping and assembly
• Lightweight sheets minimize lifting and reduce worker fatigue

Can I bend these mats to transfer food or funnel ingredients?

Yes — the sheets were designed to flex, making it easy to curve the mat and direct chopped food into bowls, pans, or containers without using your hands to scoop. This flexibility speeds up mise en place and reduces cross-contamination by keeping transfers controlled. The material springs back into shape for repeated use.

• Flexible enough to form a temporary chute for quick transfers
• Lightweight design allows single-person handling
• Returns to flat form for storage and washing

What cleaning and safety precautions should I follow?

The HDPE surface wipes clean easily and can be washed between uses; these mats are practical for single-event use or multiple uses with proper sanitizing. Avoid extreme heat and direct flame, and inspect regularly for deep cuts where bacteria could hide. Replace any mat with persistent grooves or permanent staining to maintain food safety standards.

• Wipe, wash, and sanitize after each use; air dry fully before storage
• Not intended for oven or open flames — keep away from heat sources
• Discard and replace if deep grooves or punctures appear

Why buy a four-pack instead of a single board?

Having four mats on hand reduces downtime and cross-contamination by letting you rotate surfaces for different foods or for staging multiple dishes. The pack is cost-effective compared with a single heavy cutting board and offers flexibility for events, back-of-house stations, or separate prep areas. Extra mats make cleanup and service smoother during peak periods.

• Rotate mats to separate proteins, produce, and finished plating
• Swap quickly to keep service moving during busy shifts or events
• Budget-friendly option compared with replacing large solid boards

Who is this for: These Thirteen Chefs 24 x 18 cutting mats suit caterers, food trucks, restaurant kitchens, event staff, and home chefs who need a large, flexible, food-safe surface that’s easy to store and replace. Choose this four-pack when you want commercial durability, quick transfers, and a neutral white surface for plating or events without investing in heavy boards.
