Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Pie Co., a popular gastropub in Oakham, needed a smarter, more durable solution for their front-of-house pie and ploughman's presentation boards. Their existing plastic ones looked tired and were showing deep cuts.
"We wanted something that not only performed well but also matched the rustic aesthetic of our pub. These wooden boards are fantastic. They look the part, our customers love them, and they've stood up to constant use without looking battered. A brilliant investment."
Michael Davies – General Manager
The switch resulted in a noticeable improvement in food presentation and a projected 60% reduction in annual board replacement costs.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the board a gentle wash with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Dry it completely with a towel straight away – never leave it to air dry from soaking wet.
- Apply a generous layer of food-safe mineral oil (like DF059) to all surfaces. Let it soak in for a few hours, then wipe off the excess.
- Ensure it's placed on a level, dry work surface, away from direct heat like ovens or hobs.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash after use. This board is strictly not dishwasher safe.
- To neutralise strong odours from garlic or onions, scrub the surface with coarse salt and the cut side of half a lemon.
- Re-oil the board at least once a month, or whenever it starts to look pale or dry. This is the secret to a long life!
- Store it on its side when not in use to allow air to circulate freely around all surfaces, preventing moisture build-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I put this in my commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely not. The intense heat and chemicals in a dishwasher will cause the wood to warp, split, and crack very quickly. It must be washed by hand.
Q: What is the best oil to use on this board?
A: Always use a food-grade, non-perishable oil. Food-safe mineral oil or a specialised chopping board conditioner (like our DF059) are the best choices.
Q: How often should I be oiling my board?
A: For a board in daily use, a light re-oiling once a month is a good routine. If it ever starts to look pale or feel dry, it's telling you it's thirsty!
Q: Is rubberwood a good, safe material for food prep?
A: Yes, it's an excellent choice. Rubberwood is a sustainable hardwood that is dense, durable, and less porous than many other woods, making it perfect for a professional kitchen chopping board.
Q: Will it stain if I chop things like beetroot on it?
A: A well-oiled board is highly resistant to staining as the oil creates a barrier. If a stain does occur, it will usually fade with subsequent washing and oiling.
Q: Can I use one side for raw meat and the other for veg?
A: While technically possible, food safety guidelines strongly recommend using entirely separate, dedicated boards (usually colour-coded plastic) for raw meat to eliminate any risk of cross-contamination.
Q: Why is it so heavy?
A: The 4.4kg weight is a key feature. It provides excellent stability on your work surface, preventing it from sliding around which is crucial for both safety and efficiency during fast-paced prep work.
Q: Will using this board make my knives blunt?
A: Quite the opposite! The natural grain of the wood is much gentler on a knife's edge compared to plastic or glass boards, helping to keep your blades sharper for longer.
The Vogue Standard: Reliability You Can Feel
In a professional kitchen, you need tools that just work, no questions asked. That's the core philosophy behind the Vogue brand. This isn't about fleeting trends or unnecessary frills; it's about creating dependable, hard-wearing equipment that stands up to the pressures of a busy service, day in and day out. The Vogue C459 chopping board is a perfect embodiment of this. Its substantial weight, the smooth yet grippy surface of the rubberwood, and its simple, timeless design all point to one thing: long-term value. Investing in a Vogue product is an investment in consistency. You're choosing a tool that won't let you down, reducing the hidden costs of replacing cheaper, less durable alternatives. This is the kind of foundational equipment that lets you focus on the food, confident that your tools are up to the task.
Explore more from VogueWhy a Natural Wood Surface is Kinder to Your Knives
Ever wondered why chefs often prefer wood? It's all about how the board reacts to the knife. When your blade cuts into this commercial wooden chopping board, the wood fibres have a natural 'give'. Think of it like pushing a knife into a dense brush – the bristles part to make way for the blade and then settle back into place afterwards. This 'self-healing' quality means the board surface suffers less permanent damage and, more importantly, it doesn't fight against your knife's edge. Plastic boards, on the other hand, are harder and unforgiving. Every cut creates a tiny, permanent groove, and that repeated impact is what gradually dulls your expensive knives. Using a wood board is a simple way to protect your investment and keep your blades sharper for much, much longer.
