The 7 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Our Cutting Boards
Updated: Jul 28
If you're looking to buy a high-quality cutting board, you probably have a few questions: Is it really dishwasher-safe? How hygienic is the material? Does it require any special care? And is it gentle on your knives? These are exactly the questions we receive every day at JADE Kitchen. In this article, we answer the seven most common questions from our customers - clearly, honestly, and to the point.
1. What material are JADE cutting boards made from?
Our cutting boards are made from premium cellulose laminate. Multiple layers of cellulose fibers sourced from pine wood are compressed under extremely high pressure and temperature to create an exceptionally durable material. The result is a robust, long-lasting, non-porous surface that has been trusted in professional kitchens for decades. At the same time, it offers the warm look and feel of wood while providing the practical advantages of a modern high-performance material.
2. Are JADE cutting boards dishwasher-safe?
Yes - all JADE Kitchen cutting boards are completely dishwasher-safe.
Unlike traditional wooden boards, which may swell or warp over time, cellulose laminate remains dimensionally stable. This makes cleaning effortless while ensuring a high level of hygiene.
3. Do the cutting boards require special care?
No. Our cutting boards are designed to be as low-maintenance as possible and require no special care. Regular oiling or sanding is not necessary. Over time, fine knife marks will naturally appear on the surface through everyday use. This is completely normal and actually indicates that the material is protecting your knife blades. If you would like to refresh the appearance of your cutting board after years of use, you can easily restore the surface for cosmetic reasons. Our Care Guide explains the process step by step.
For everyday cleaning, simply wash the board with hot water and dish soap or place it in the dishwasher. This keeps your cutting board looking great and performing reliably for many years.
4. Are the cutting boards really knife-friendly?
Yes. A good cutting board not only protects your food but also your knives. The cellulose laminate surface has just enough give to reduce wear on the blade, making it exceptionally knife-friendly. While fine cut marks develop over time, the knife edge itself experiences less stress. As a result, your kitchen knives stay sharp for longer and require less frequent sharpening.
5. Are the cutting boards hygienic and bacteria-resistant?
Yes. The surface of our cutting boards is closed and non-porous, making it exceptionally hygienic and resistant to bacterial buildup. Liquids and food residues cannot easily penetrate the material. This is particularly beneficial when preparing raw meat, fish, or poultry. After cleaning in the dishwasher, the board is hygienically clean and ready for its next use.
6. Are the cutting boards heat-resistant?
Our products are heat-resistant up to 176°C (349°F). This means they can be used not only as cutting boards but also as practical trivets for hot pots, pans, and baking dishes.
Their versatility makes them an indispensable kitchen companion.
7. Why are more and more people choosing cellulose laminate?
