Double Sided Metal Kitchen Prep Board

This Cutting Board from Velleora Home Decor is metal with two usable faces, so raw and ready-to-eat food are prepared on separate surfaces without needing two boards on a worktop.

That separation is the single most important thing in domestic food hygiene. Cutting raw chicken and then salad on the same surface is how most home food poisoning happens, and a two-sided board makes the correct habit the easy one.

Three size options are offered. Metal is non-porous, so juices sit on the surface and rinse away rather than soaking into knife scores the way they do with timber or plastic - which is why a well-used plastic board can never truly be cleaned. It is dishwasher safe. One trade-off: a hard surface dulls knife edges faster than end-grain wood, so expect to hone more often.

• Two faces separate raw and ready-to-eat
• Non-porous - juices rinse away
• No knife scores harbouring bacteria
• Three size options
• Dishwasher safe
• Hone knives more often than with wood
