TeakHaus

Professional-Grade Teak: The Durable, Lightweight Solution for High-Volume Prep and Presentation The TeakHaus 16" x 11" x 0.55" Edge Grain Cutting & Serving Board (SKU 204) is engineered for the rigorous demands of professional kitchens and high-end home culinary environments. Unlike softer woods that scar easily or harder synthetics that dull your edges, teak contains a high natural silica and oil content. This creates a surface that is uniquely resilient against moisture while maintaining the structural integrity of your knife's primary bevel. The Performance of Edge Grain Construction Edge grain construction is selected for this model to maximize the balance between weight and durability. The horizontal alignment of the wood fibers provides a stable, non-slip surface that handles rapid knife work without the excessive weight of traditional butcher blocks. At just 0.55 inches thick, this board allows for seamless 'board-to-pot' transfers, essential for efficient mise en place. Superior Moisture Management and Hygiene Teak is world-renowned for its performance in marine environments, and those same properties apply to the kitchen. The natural oils act as a biological barrier against bacteria and cross-contamination. This board arrives pre-treated with a proprietary blend of food-grade mineral oil and natural beeswax, ensuring it is ready for immediate use. The rounded edges and lightweight 1.5 lb build facilitate easy cleaning in high-traffic settings, while the 16" x 11" surface area provides ample space for carving proteins or arranging complex charcuterie displays.

The TeakHaus Herringbone is not merely a surface; it is a technical tool designed for chefs who prioritize knife edge longevity. In hands-on testing, the 1.5-inch thickness provides a necessary heft that prevents the board from walking across stainless steel or granite countertops during intensive vegetable dicing or heavy butchery. Unlike standard edge-grain boards, this herringbone end-grain configuration allows the wood fibers to part as the blade enters, then close back up once the pressure is released. This 'self-healing' mechanism significantly reduces visible scoring and prevents the micro-chipping often associated with harder, less forgiving woods like bamboo. The tactile feedback during use is distinct. You will notice a deep, muffled thud rather than a high-pitched click when the blade makes contact. This is due to the natural oils and high silica content inherent to Tectona grandis (Teak), which acts as a built-in lubricant for your steel. For owners of Japanese knives with high Rockwell hardness (60+ HRC), this board is a requisite for maintaining a razor edge. Beyond its technical utility, the herringbone pattern is a functional mosaic of end-grain blocks, oriented to handle humidity fluctuations without the warping common in thinner, longitudinal-grain boards. Whether utilized as a heavy-duty prep station or a thermal-stable serving platter for proteins, the 321 model delivers consistent, professional-grade performance. Learn More

For the host who thinks big and the chef who demands ample space, the 20x15-inch TeakHaus Herringbone board delivers on a grand scale. This is where ultimate functionality meets show-stopping design. The captivating herringbone pattern is given a magnificent stage, creating an undeniable focal point in any kitchen. Its vast surface area gives you the freedom to carve a Thanksgiving turkey, lay out an elaborate charcuterie spread for a party, or manage multiple prep tasks without ever feeling cramped. Beyond its striking appearance, the board’s 1.5-inch thick construction provides a weighty, immovable foundation for safe and efficient cutting. Crafted from 100% sustainable, FSC® certified Teak, it is naturally endowed with the resilience to resist moisture, scarring, and warping. Transitioning seamlessly from a high-performance prep station to a dramatic serving platter, this board isn’t just a tool—it’s the centerpiece of your culinary stage. Learn More

Lock In Moisture and Prevent Structural Failure with TeakHaus Oil Maintaining a professional teak cutting board requires more than surface-level cleaning; it demands deep fiber saturation. Teak is prized for its high natural oil content and silica, but even these resilient woods eventually lose moisture under the heat of a commercial kitchen or repetitive washing. This 8oz bottle of TeakHaus Conditioning Oil provides the necessary replenishment to prevent the wood from becoming brittle. When wood dries, it contracts, leading to micro-fissures and eventually deep splits that can harbor bacteria and ruin the board's structural integrity. Applying this oil reveals the rich, dark luster of the teak grain without any oily residue or sticky buildup. The liquid has a light viscosity that flows easily into the pores, ensuring the board stays hydrated from the inside out. Unlike kitchen pantry oils that go rancid over time, this odorless and tasteless formula is completely shelf-stable and food-safe. During application, you will notice the wood quickly 'drinking' the oil, a tactile indicator of thirst. Once saturated, the board develops a hydrophobic surface where water beads and rolls off, rather than soaking into the grain. For chefs handling high-acid ingredients or frequent washing, this creates a critical barrier that extends the life of the board by years. Learn More

Professional-Grade Stability in a Versatile 14" x 10" Footprint Experience the tactile superiority of Tectona grandis (Teak) with the TeakHaus SKU 804. Unlike standard hardwoods that feel brittle under a chef's knife, this edge grain board offers a dense, slightly waxy surface that actively absorbs the impact of a blade. This is a direct result of teak’s uniquely high silica and natural oil content, which prevents the wood from becoming a thirsty sponge—instead, it naturally repels moisture and resists the deep-seated warping common in lesser maple or beech boards. Measuring 14 by 10 inches with a substantial 1-inch thickness, the board provides a solid, non-slip feel on the countertop. It is the ideal size for 'swing' tasks: slicing aromatics, dicing small proteins, or serving as a dedicated station for citrus and garnishes. The edge grain construction means the wood fibers run horizontally, creating a durable, scratch-resistant surface that maintains its integrity even after hundreds of heavy-impact prep sessions. The board is designed for high-efficiency workflows. One side features a precision-milled juice canal, capable of holding approximately 2.5 ounces of liquid, preventing overflow when resting rested meats or slicing succulent fruits. Flip the board to reveal a completely flat, smooth surface—the preferred choice for dry prep or as a rustic, professional-grade charcuterie presentation piece. This isn't a board that hides in a cupboard; it is a heavy-duty tool meant for daily use in demanding kitchens. Learn More
