Cutting Boards for Every Startup Kitchen

Whether it is a restaurant, diner, or food truck, every new kitchen needs equipment. One of the most common pieces of equipment that may not be at the front of your mind are cutting boards. 

Cutting boards are an essential part of any kitchen. They allow you to cut, dice, and slice your food without ruining your new countertops. However, not just any cutting board will do for your new food service venture. Cutting boards for food service must be able to survive the daily wear and tear that comes with food service industry preparation. Proper cutting boards also keep the surrounding area clean and chefs safe. 

This cutting board measures 30 x 18 inches and comes in both black and white to fit the style of your new business. It is made of high density polyethylene, also know as HDPE. It is NSF approved for use in both restaurants and food service. The outer juice groove is perfect for catching messy meat drippings and keeping your prep station clean. The board has a dot textured surface. This feature helps bead water to prevent liquids from running off. This also adds micro traction for prep work to keep vegetables and meat in place while cutting.

If you have a more modern design in mind for your new kitchen, this clear acrylic board is the perfect fit. Acrylic is a non-porous material. This means that bacteria will not grow on the surface and they are easily washed off. The pebbled texture of the acrylic helps prevent cut marks on the board and does not dull knives. The cutting board is also equipped with rubber feet to keep it in place during prep work. It is available in three sizes.

This cutting board is on the larger side, measuring at 24 x 18 inches. It is made of commercial grade white plastic and is NSF approved for use in both restaurants and food service. It is dishwasher safe for commercial and home use up to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. The material resists stains, warping, and cuts. In addition, there is a texture surface to prevent slipping, keeping chefs safe while they prep. The board also features a juice groove to catch drippings and keep the surrounding area clean.

If you are looking to get more bang for your buck, this three pack of cutting boards is the perfect fit. In addition to remaining festive all year long, the colors can serve as an organization tool. For example, vegetables are prepared on the green board, meat on the red board, and potatoes on the white board. Measuring at 18 x 12 inches, the boards are engineered with HDPE. This material resists cuts and warping. The boards are also dishwasher safe for commercial and home use.

Having all the cutting boards you need for your kitchen is great except when you cannot find the right one. Once you are equipped with all the cutting boards you need, do not forget about a rack to organize them all. This storage rack can hold up to 10 cutting boards, pans, or pot lids that are up to one inch thick. It has a wide 15” base and 10” slot height. The rack is made of grade 304 stainless steel which will not rust or chip.
