The fact is: All our woods are absolutely suitable for use as cutting boards – from a purely functional point of view there are therefore no significant differences. From our point of view, this makes the choice of wood a purely aesthetic matter and you can simply decide in a pleasant and light-footed manner what suits you best – in our experience this is always the best way to be happy with your products in the long run anyway. (The only limitation: If you own extremely high-quality, not stainless knives (99% of all knives are stainless – if you don’t own stainless knives, you usually know about it), you don’t want to use oak wood, otherwise the black stains typical for oak can occur if the knife accidentally lies on the wood with a moist blade for a long time.)

The logistical processes on a chopping board are surprisingly complex – this can be confirmed by anyone who has ever cooked a little more sophisticated. But what exactly happens and why the Frankfurt board is anything but a short-lived lifestyle product: HERE our detailed blog article about zones of use, working directions and ergonomics when cooking.

Quite the opposite – with our little cleaning routine, cleaning is not only faster, it’s also fun. HIER our blog article on the topic.

Every good tool needs care, as does the Frankfurt board. But that’s no reason to panic: Actually it is done with a little wood oil every 2 weeks – but you can also do a little more. HIER is our detailed care instructions.

Cutting boards made of wood or rather of plastic? Of course we have an opinion – or rather a recommendation: HIER is our article on the topic.

We hear this question relatively often: Unlocked brackets seem like a gross error of thought, but there are actually good reasons for it:
A – CLEANING: To clean the board, simply remove the brackets from the board and put them in the dishwasher – job done.
B – FLEXIBILITY: Especially with our "large" boards, the various brackets can be quickly repositioned as required and adapted to the working situation – a locking mechanism would make this very complicated.
C – SAFETY: Children who pull on a bracket from below could pull the entire board (including the knives on it) off the worktop when the handle is locked. If the brackets are not fixed, the worst thing that can happen is to pull them out.
D – It does not matter in everyday life at all. We have never received a customer complaint that the loose brackets are a nuisance in everyday life.

Unfortunately not. Although all external dimensions of the containers are standardised, the internal dimensions – i.e. where the containers rest on the brackets – are not standardised and vary considerably depending on the manufacturer and in some cases do not fit. So that the boards can be used smoothly right from the start, we deliver our board systems only in combination with containers.
