The oval serving board large is the board for the moment something really big comes off the barbecue. A whole rib rack, a sliced picanha or a generous sharing platter of meat, vegetables and bread fits on it in one go. The board is made of solid acacia wood: hard, dense and with a warm grain that varies from board to board.
Why an oval serving board large
Elongated works better than square once you're dealing with pieces of meat. You lay the ribs or slices side by side along the length, keep an overview and don't have to stack. When carving you have room on both sides, so you can cut with long strokes instead of sawing.
- Enough length for a whole rib rack or a carved piece of meat
- Solid wood that withstands sharp knives without showing deep grooves right away
- Gentle oval shape, comfortable to hold with two hands
- Works just as well as a sharing board for cheese, sausage and bread
- Every board has its own grain pattern
How to get the most out of it
Let a large piece of meat rest before it goes on the board, otherwise the juices run off. Cut against the grain with a long knife and tilt the board slightly towards the plate if you want to catch the juices. For sauces and dips, place separate small bowls on the board rather than pouring them straight onto the wood.
Maintenance
Wash with warm water and a brush, don't let it soak, then dry it standing upright. Rubbing it with vegetable oil a few times a year keeps the wood nourished and prevents drying out and cracking.
