Beautiful and practical glass
Kitchen boards made of glass ceramics are durable, beautiful and very hygienic. Their disadvantages are heavy weight, fragility, not a very pleasant sound when cutting food, and very rapid wear of the knife blade. There should be anti-slip rubber pads on the inside of the board, otherwise it will constantly stick to the table.

Extra large boards are the perfect item in your kitchen for creating delicious sauces or dressings because they hold all the ingredients in one place. They are often used in commercial kitchens to prepare multiple dishes, as a platform for other tools such as mixers or choppers, and for large cuts of meat that require heavy knives.
