Kikushou Hinoki Cutting Board Lightweight Sink Use 48301.3cm Wooden Cypress Made Japan

Product Description Is the hinoki cutting board made from a single piece? No, it is not made from a single piece. If a cutting board were made from a single piece of wood, it would be prone to warping, cracking, and twisting due to the nature of the wood, making it difficult to handle in everyday use. This product adopts a structure that considers the wood grain and is bonded in the width direction, making it less likely to deform. What type of adhesive is used? A water-based polymer isocyanate adhesive is used for bonding the cutting board. This adhesive complies with food sanitation laws and is commonly used in wooden products. The adhesive layer is internal and does not come into direct contact during cooking. What is the weight? The weight is not constant. Since natural wood is used, there may be individual differences in wood grain and density even for products of the same size, resulting in a weight variation of about 50 grams. Therefore, a standard weight is not specified. Will black stains or mold occur? Due to the characteristics of natural wood, black stains may occur depending on the usage environment and storage conditions. Washing after use, wiping off moisture, and drying it upright can help reduce occurrence. It is recommended to store in a well-ventilated area. What about the impact on knives and scratches during use? Hinoki has moderate elasticity, and the feel when the knife blade makes contact tends to be soft. Knife marks will appear with use, but this is a characteristic of natural wood cutting boards and is within the normal range of use. 【Size】 Approximately 48cm x 30cm x Thickness 1.3cm 【Material】 Main body: Hinoki 【Made in Japan】【Wood】 【Features】 ・A large size that can be placed over the sink, yet lightweight and easy to use, thin hinoki cutting board. ・Features "warp prevention processing" to minimize warping. 【Care】 ・After use, promptly wash off dirt, thoroughly wipe off moisture, and dry well before storing.
