Carving Boards

Few tools in the kitchen are as useful as the wooden carving board. You can use your board as:

• a durable surface to save you from damaging or scratching your countertop;
• a hygienic and easy to clean food preparation space;
• a physical barrier that protects your table or benchtop from the heat exuded by hot dishes;
• a stylish and eye-catching feature in your kitchen;
• a serving platter for cheeses, tapas, platters, pizzas and pastries.

When choosing a wooden board (as opposed to a plastic or glass board), you enjoy several benefits. Wooden carving boards are regarded as:

• Extremely durable: with a long life expectancy, wooden cutting boards are made to withstand heavy daily use.
• Easy to care for: maintenance and cleaning of a wooden carving board is easy. Simply wash it in warm soapy water and leave to dry naturally or pat dry.
• Safe: wooden boards are less likely to slip due to the texture of the timber. They provide greater stability and decrease your chances of injury in the kitchen.
• Aesthetically pleasing: a quality hardwood carving board has warm and rich colours that will add a touch of style to your home.
• Antibacterial: at Wild Wood, we use quality acacia hardwood that has antibacterial qualities and water-resistant properties.

Wooden boards are renowned for their durability. You can expect to get many years of use out of a quality carving board. Perhaps even a lifetime, if you take some simple steps to care for the timber. Wooden boards do not bend over time like plastic does. And their thick, hardwood surface is more resistant to damage from cutting implements. This makes them a wise, long-term investment.

It is easy to maintain and clean your wooden cutting board. After use, simply wash it in warm soapy water and leave to dry naturally or pat dry. Wooden carving boards are unlikely to contaminate or harbour harmful bacteria from meat because they are so easy to clean. And, if you want to extend the life of your board and keep it looking great, you should occasionally season the timber with vegetable oil.

Your home is unique in its style and design. So why not choose a carving board that is also unique. When a high-quality, well-designed wooden cutting board is displayed in your kitchen or on the table, it makes for a classy display. Our hardwood boards at Wild Wood have rich hues that add a touch of warmth to your home. Plus, our range of wooden carving boards come with unique features, perfectly designed for cutting meat. We have a great range that provides options for any home chef.

There are a few features that can make a wooden carving board perfect for cutting meat. Try to choose a wooden carving board that is:

• Extra large – suitable for meat of any size, including roasts;
• Thick – can take a beating and still last a lifetime;
• Includes a juice lane and/or juice well – catches all the juices from your roast meat on the carving board;
• Includes carving spikes or mini-pyramids – holds your meat and roast in place on the wooden board whilst carving.

A wooden carving board with a juice well ensures you catch the juices which flow when carving your meat or roast. The board will have a channel that runs around its border and funnels the juices to the well. It also has the added benefit of helping to ensure your benchtop or table remains clean. The juice well makes it easy to pour all of the meat juices into a jug or container once carving is done.

An extra large carving board means you can handle large cuts of meat of any size, including roasts, lamb, beef, pork, chicken and even slow-cooked dishes. Meat should not be able to hang off the edge of a wooden carving board and touch the bench. The extra large size of the carving board also helps to keep the meat in place whilst carving, so that you do not stain or damage your benchtop. Wild Wood has numerous large sized boards which cater for large cuts of meat and big roasts.

A large carving board with spikes or mini pyramids helps to hold your meat or roast in place so that it doesn’t move around while carving. Some Wild Wood carving boards include a field of mini pyramids for this purpose.

All of our Wild Wood carving boards are designed for cooking and cutting roasts. But the Mudgee Carving Board is the outstanding option for roasts. It includes a juice lane and juice well, to catch all of the juices that flow from the roast meat. You can either pour the tasty juice back over your plated dish, make a gravy or dispose of it for easy clean-up. The Mudgee Carving Board also includes mini pyramid spikes in the centre of its extra-large design. This helps you to keep your roast in place whilst carving.
