The Long Handled Board is long and slim with a handle, which makes it easy to carry a loaded board from kitchen to table without a second hand under it. Mango wood is the practical choice for a board - dense enough to take daily knife work, soft enough not to blunt your blades, and a by-product of orchards that have stopped fruiting rather than timber grown for the purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the handle actually for?

Carrying a loaded board one-handed, and hanging it to dry or store. A handled board also serves better at a table - guests can turn it towards themselves without touching the food surface.

Is mango wood good for chopping?

Yes. It is a dense hardwood, firm enough to take daily knife work while still being gentle on blades - a board that is too hard blunts knives quickly, which is why hardwoods like mango are preferred over glass or stone.

How do I look after a mango wood board?

Hand wash in warm water with mild soap, rinse and dry it standing on edge so both faces dry evenly. Never soak it, never put it in a dishwasher, and rub food-grade mineral oil into it once a month - that is what stops a wooden board drying out and cracking in Indian summer heat.

Should I use the same board for vegetables and meat?

Keep separate boards, or use one face strictly for raw meat and fish and the other for vegetables and fruit. In a vegetarian or mixed household this matters more than anything else about board hygiene.

Does it work as a gift?

Wooden boards are among the more usable housewarming and wedding gifts - nothing to size, and they get used weekly rather than stored away. They are also a common pick for Diwali hampers.
