A set of three pure titanium cutting boards in graduated sizes, double sided, roughly a millimeter thick. The pitch is a direct answer to the plastic-microparticle research that has been circulating: titanium is non-porous, so unlike plastic it does not develop knife grooves that trap bacteria, and unlike wood it does not absorb moisture, garlic, or raw chicken juice. It is dishwasher safe and will not warp. The tradeoff is honest and worth knowing up front: a hard metal surface is tougher on knife edges than end-grain wood or soft plastic, so expect to hone more often. Boards are thin and light enough to stack in a drawer instead of taking a cabinet shelf. Best fit: raw meat prep, garlic-and-onion boards, and anyone who has read one microplastics article too many.
Pros
- Non-porous titanium does not trap bacteria in knife grooves the way plastic does
- Will not absorb garlic, onion, or raw meat odors like wood
- Dishwasher safe and will not warp or crack
- Thin enough that all three stack flat in a drawer
Cons
- A hard metal surface dulls knife edges faster than end-grain wood, so plan on honing more often

Frequently asked questions
Will it ruin my knives?
It will not chip a decent knife, but titanium is harder than wood or plastic, so edges dull faster. If you use expensive Japanese knives, keep a wood board for them and use these for raw meat and rough prep.
Does food slide around on a metal surface?
More than on wood, yes. Most people put a damp towel under the board, which stops both the board and the food from sliding.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes. Titanium does not warp, crack, or absorb water, so the dishwasher is fine including the sanitize cycle.
Does it give food a metallic taste?
No. Titanium is chemically inert and does not react with acidic foods the way aluminum or reactive metals do.
How thick are they?
About a millimeter. They are thin and light, which makes them easy to store and easy to carry to the pan, but they do not have the heft of a butcher block.
