Why Food Safety Experts Refuse to Use Wood or Plastic Cutting Boards—And What They Use Instead

By Jennifer Walsh | Kitchen Science Investigator

The Sakerplus® board is constructed from high-grade passivated stainless steel. This creates what’s known as Ion-Shield™ Non-Porous Technology.

 

Here’s what that means in plain English:

 

Zero Porosity = Zero Bacterial Hiding Places

Unlike wood (which drinks up bacteria) or plastic (which hides bacteria in scratches), the Sakerplus® surface is impenetrable. Bacteria sit exposed on the surface, where a simple rinse washes them completely away.

 

Chromium Oxide Deodorization

Here’s something incredible: The steel itself neutralizes odors chemically.

When sulfur molecules (the source of garlic, onion, and fish smell) touch the chromium in the steel, they bind to it and are neutralized instantly. It’s the same principle behind “stainless steel soap” bars—except your entire cutting surface becomes a deodorizer.

Cut garlic. Rinse the board. Immediately cut strawberries. Zero flavor transfer.

 

Temperature Resistant & Indestructible

The 0.15 cm fortified steel construction means:

· Won’t crack, warp, or chip—ever

· Handles hot pots straight from the stove

· Accelerates defrosting of frozen foods (metal conducts temperature)

· Stays cool while kneading dough (essential for pastry work)

Margaret L.: “I was skeptical about cutting on metal, but this board changed everything. I used to replace my plastic boards every few months because they’d get so stained and gross. This Sakerplus board? Six months later, looks brand new. I can literally see the difference when I rinse it—everything just slides off. My husband, who never notices kitchen stuff, actually commented on how good the vegetables taste now.”

David K.: “As someone who does a lot of raw meat prep (I hunt), this board is a game-changer. I used to stress about cross-contamination with my old wooden board. Now? Rinse, wipe, done. My wife loves that it doesn’t stink like my old board used to after prepping fish. Total peace of mind.”

Chen F.: “I’m a pastry baker, and this board is PERFECT for dough work. The metal stays naturally cool, so my butter doesn’t melt while I’m rolling. Plus, cleanup is instant—no more scraping dried dough out of wood grain. Worth every penny.”

Six Reasons Families Are Making the Switch

1. Surgical-Grade Sanitation at Home

The smooth, non-porous surface ensures complete bacterial removal with a simple rinse. No scrubbing grooves. No wondering if it’s “clean enough.” Dishwasher safe for effortless deep cleaning.

 

2. Odor-Free, Flavor-Pure Food Prep

Thanks to chromium oxide chemistry, strong-smelling foods (garlic, onions, fish) leave zero trace. Your apple slices will never taste like last night’s salmon again.

 

3. Built to Outlast Your Kitchen

Resistant to scratches, cracks, warping, and staining. This is genuinely the last cutting board you’ll ever need to buy. Compare that to replacing plastic boards 2-3 times per year for a decade.

 

4. Professional Versatility

Perfect for:

· Raw meat prep (zero bacterial absorption)

· Vegetable chopping (no flavor contamination)

· Pastry and dough work (naturally cool surface)

· Sink cover (creates extra counter space in small kitchens)

· Outdoor cooking (won’t absorb BBQ sauce or marinades)

 

5. Knife-Friendly Brushed Finish

Worried about dulling your knives? The Sakerplus® features a specially engineered brushed finish—smooth enough to protect knife edges, textured enough to provide cutting traction. Plus, the stability silicone pads prevent slipping during heavy chopping.

 

6. Space-Saving, Clutter-Free Storage

At just 0.15 cm thick, this slim profile slides easily into cabinets or drawers. Weighs less than bulky wooden butcher blocks but delivers superior performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I clean it?

A: Rinse under water. That’s it. For heavy use, add a drop of dish soap. It’s dishwasher-safe, but most users find rinsing is sufficient.

Q: Can I use it for kneading dough or rolling pastry?

A: Absolutely! The metal surface stays naturally cool, which is ideal for working with butter-based doughs. Professional bakers use this technique to prevent butter from melting.

Q: What if it gets scratched?

A: The hardened steel resists scratching, but even if surface scratches occur, they don’t create bacteria traps like plastic or wood—the non-porous structure remains intact.

Q: Does it retain food smells?

A: Not at all. Unlike wood or plastic, stainless steel does not absorb odors, colors, or juices.

Q: Can it be used outdoors?

A: Yes. It’s perfect for BBQ, camping, and outdoor food prep since it's weather-resistant and easy to clean.
