The Foundation of Every Prep Station
A cutting board does more work than almost any other kitchen tool, it protects your countertops, protects your knife edge, and gives you a stable, hygienic surface for every prep task. At Tarzian West for Housewares, Brooklyn's neighborhood kitchen store since 1977, our cutting board selection spans every material, size, and use case: wood prep boards, carving boards with juice canals, slate and marble display boards, food-safe plastic boards, and silicone mats.
Wood, Maple & Cherry. Wood is the gold standard for knife-friendly prep surfaces. The Maple Prep Board and Maple Reversible Carving Board 20"x14" from J.K. Adams for heirloom-quality Vermont-made maple boards that are gentle on edges and built to last decades. The Cherry Carving Board 20"x14" for a stunning cherry wood surface with a carved juice canal that captures drippings during carving and serving.
Teak. The Lightweight Edge Grain Teakwood Essential Cutting Board and Oval Teak Board for a natural-oil-rich wood that resists moisture, warping, and cracking better than most. Teak's density and stability make it a long-lasting choice for prep and serving.
Acacia. The Herringbone Acacia for a visually striking herringbone pattern board that doubles as a serving piece.
Decorative & Artist Boards. The Fredericks & Mae Blue & White Cutting Board and Laura Zindel Maple Square Serving Board for boards that are as much decorative objects as they are functional, handcrafted designs that belong on display.
Slate. The Slate Cutting Board and Slate Paddle Cutting Board for a dramatic dark surface that photographs beautifully and doubles as a charcuterie or cheese display board.
Marble. The Marble Abstract Design Cheese & Cutting Board for a striking marble surface, cool to the touch (ideal for pastry work and chocolate), beautiful as a serving board.
Plastic / NSF. The OXO Good Grips Everyday Cutting Board and Dexas NSF Polysafe Cutting Board with Well, 15"x20" for dishwasher-safe plastic boards rated for food service use. The Dexas High-Density Cutting Board and Dexas Superboard for compact, affordable everyday prep boards that are easy to clean and gentle on knives.
Silicone. The Silipot Silicone Cutting Board for a flexible, non-slip surface that can be rolled up for easy cleaning and storage.
Flexible Mats. The Elements Flexi Mat Set-3 for a color-coded set of flexible cutting mats, useful for keeping different proteins and produce surfaces separate and preventing cross-contamination.
Small Boards & Serving. The Q-Tee Cutting Board 7.5"x4" for a compact countertop companion. The Epicurean Handy Plus Series Cut & Serve Board and Epicurean EPI-BUTTER Cutlery Board Butter for Epicurean's dishwasher-safe composite boards, lightweight, knife-friendly, and NSF certified.
Board Care. The Bees Wax Conditioner, J.K. Adams Formula 68 Wood Conditioner, and Mineral Oil for keeping wood boards hydrated, sealed, and in peak condition for years.
