Solid Beech Bread Board 37x24cm – Removable Grid and Knife Storage Drawer

This bread board in solid beech measures 37 x 24 cm and incorporates two features that simplify everyday kitchen use: a removable crumb-catcher grid slid under the cutting surface, and an integrated knife storage drawer beneath the board. The beech cutting surface is naturally resistant to knife marks and flavour-neutral — no taste transfer to bread or sliced foods.

Versatile, it is equally suited to slicing bread, presenting a selection of cheeses and charcuterie, or preparing open sandwiches and sandwiches. The 37x24cm format is sized for a country loaf or a baguette cut in half.

Usage tips

Remove the crumb-catcher grid and empty the crumbs after each use — this prevents residue that attracts insects. For cheeses or charcuterie, wipe the surface with a damp cloth between different types of products to avoid flavour transfer. The knife storage drawer can hold 1 to 2 knives depending on their size.

Care

Wipe the cutting surface with a damp cloth after each use. For stubborn stains (fatty cheese, tomato), rub with a halved lemon and a pinch of coarse salt — a gentle abrasive action that cleans without scratching. Never immerse in water or put in the dishwasher. Oil the surface 2 to 3 times a year with food-grade oil to keep the beech hydrated and prevent cracking.

WoodUp Tip

To preserve the cutting surface for longer, use a well-sharpened bread knife with a steady sawing motion rather than an aggressively serrated knife that tears the wood. Knife marks can be reduced with a light sand at 220 grit followed by oiling — beech regenerates easily.

Good to know before buying: the knife storage drawer is designed for standard-length knives (up to approximately 30 cm blade). Bread knives with a very thick handle or prominent bolster may not fit — check your knife's dimensions before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Is the crumb-catcher grid easy to clean?

Yes. The grid slides out from beneath the cutting board. Empty the crumbs into the bin, then clean with soapy water using a soft brush. Leave to dry before replacing to avoid prolonged moisture under the board.

Is beech hygienic for cutting bread?

Yes. Solid beech naturally has slightly antibacterial properties — bacteria penetrate the micro-cracks in the grain but dehydrate within them. For optimal hygiene, clean after each use and oil regularly to close the wood's pores. Avoid cracked boards where bacteria could accumulate.

Can this board be used as a general-purpose chopping board?

Yes for light cutting — bread, cheese, fruit, tender vegetables. For intensive cutting (raw meat, daily hard vegetables), a dedicated thick chopping board is more suitable: it absorbs impact better and is more easily restored by sanding.

How do you restore a cutting surface marked by knives?

Sand the surface with 120-grit sandpaper along the wood grain, then 220-grit to finish. Wipe away the dust and apply a coat of food-grade oil. This process can be carried out 2 to 3 times over the board's lifetime — beech regenerates well.

How many knives can the drawer hold?

The knife storage drawer is designed to hold the bread knife and 1 to 2 additional knives depending on their size. For a large bread knife with a very thick handle, check that the drawer height is compatible with your knife model.
