Carve and slice steaks, roasts, poultry and fish on this Mario Batali cutting board. Generously sized at 17.75 x 15 x .75 inches, the board surface features a deep well all the way around to catch stray juices, and keep counter surfaces clean. Stylish enough to slice and serve directly from the surface, you’ll love the warm chocolates, walnuts and honey-colored wood that creates these unique cutting boards and chop blocks. The teaming of Mario Batali and Madeira Housewares to create a new line of 100% plantation teak cutting boards and chop blocks continues Mario’s commitment to the environment and sustainability. Madeira’s plantation teak is grown and harvested using responsible forestry practices; all of their chop blocks and cutting boards are made from the remnants of other projects, utilizing pieces that would normally be discarded or thrown away-virtually eliminating any waste. As teak is naturally weather-resistant , it is ideal for items such as outdoor furniture, yachts and spas, and makes it a perfect choice for the kitchen environment as well. Mario’s long-established career of implementing “green” initiatives in both his restaurants and product lines, and Madeira’s commitment to creating teak products for every conceivable job with little environmental impact is the perfect partnership; a full line of products that are beautiful, strong and sustainable.
