Hasegawa Pro PE Lite Black

Milk Streeters already loved our larger Hasegawa cutting board, so when we tested this version, we knew we had to bring it in. Made with a striking black surface—perfect for showing your ingredients in sharp relief without being prone to staining—the Hasegawa Pro PE Lite has a wood core that keeps the board sturdy at a much lighter weight, especially when compared with a plastic board. This model is dishwasher-safe and built to withstand high-temperature washing without warping or bending.

Try it for veggies, fruit, cheese, nuts and herbs. It’s the perfect board for meat or fish, too: The grippy polyethylene cutting surface holds on to meat and keeps it from sliding (and it’s anti-bacterial and bleach-safe for when you’re done). You’ll find yourself pulling out this sleeker, smaller version of the Hasegawa for all of your everyday jobs.
