Every cut leaves a groove, the grooves go grey, and after six months you're chopping salad on a surface you'd rather not look at closely under a light. Wooden boards can't go in the dishwasher and warp if you leave them wet. This one is stainless steel: nothing soaks in, nothing stains, and a knife cut is a scratch on the surface rather than a trench that holds onto last week's garlic. When it's dirty you scrub it as hard as you like, or you put it in the dishwasher and forget about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Stylish Double-Sided Stainless Steel Chopping Board on a kitchen bench\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6433\/1932\/files\/2_6c9c870c-5aa7-41d6-9c79-87502e35c4ec.jpg?v=4503765235%20cm%20style=\" display: block margin-left: auto margin-right:\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDouble-sided is the part that earns its keep\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth faces are the same steel, which means you can nominate one side raw and one side ready-to-eat and never have to wash the board mid-cook. Chicken on one face, flip, salad on the other, and the two never meet. It also doubles the working life of the surface — when one face has picked up enough scratches to look used, you turn it over and start again on a fresh one. Around the outside runs a moulded silicone frame. It does two jobs: it grips the bench so the board doesn't skate away when you're pushing down through a squash, and it lifts the steel a few millimetres clear of the counter so the whole thing sits still and quiet instead of ringing like a tray. A channel around the perimeter catches the juice off a resting roast before it runs onto the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sizes and the two colours\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e36 × 23 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e — the everyday size.
