TeakHaus 20 x 14-inch Extra-Thick End Grain Butcher Block with Juice Canal

At 2.5 inches, this is the thickest board in the TeakHaus line, a true butcher block for cleaver work, barbecue and large roasts. The added depth keeps it solid under a heavy blade, and a deep juice canal on the carving face holds what runs from a brisket or a pork shoulder.

The end-grain surface takes the impact of a cleaver splitting a chicken and closes up behind the cut. Turn the block over for a flat chopping face with no canal. Grips at each end give a secure hold when it has to move.

It is a heavy board, best set in one spot near the stove or grill and left there. Measure the space before ordering, and plan to oil it often: end grain at this thickness takes a good deal of oil, and the care routine below matters more here than on a thin board.


Choosing a Butcher Block

For a standard-thickness board without a canal, see the 20 x 15-inch End Grain Butcher Block. For more surface with a canal, see the 24 x 18-inch End Grain Butcher Block with Juice Canal.

    Edge Grain or End Grain?

    Edge-grain boards are built from long strips of teak laid on their sides, so the knife cuts across the length of the fibers. They are lighter and take less oil. End-grain boards are built from short blocks set with the fibers standing upright, so the edge passes between the fibers rather than across them; TeakHaus describes the surface as self-healing for that reason. End-grain boards are heavier and need more frequent, more generous oiling.


    Natural Color and Grain

    Teak is a natural material, and no two boards are alike. Color ranges from golden to deeper brown, and a board may show darker streaks or changes in tone from one strip of wood to the next. The board you receive will differ from the one photographed. These variations are a characteristic of the wood, not a defect.


    Before First Use

    TeakHaus boards ship pre-oiled and ready to use. Wash the board with warm, soapy water, rinse it and dry it with a towel before the first use.


    Care

    • Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry with a towel right away.
    • Do not put the board in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in water.
    • TeakHaus recommends oiling its boards with food-grade mineral oil 2 to 3 times per month. TeakHaus EON Cutting Board Conditioning Oil is made for this purpose, and the TeakHaus EON Cutting Board Seasoning Stick is a quick touch-up between oilings.
    • End grain draws in more oil than edge grain, so give an end-grain board a generous coat on every face and edge.
