Used in both professional and home kitchens, the Pro series of Parker Asahi synthetic rubber boards are designed to provide a high quality surface to work on thanks to the rubber compound that is designed to be much more gentle and on your knife edge than plastic boards and provides a similar cutting experience to using a quality end grain wooden board. Wooden powder is kneaded into the rubber to achieve a natural wooden feel and the heavy weight feels sturdy.  This cutting board features hygienic and antibacterial rubber that prevents the growth of bacteria and will not become moldy.
