Ask a Question About This Product
The Karaca Owen 25cm bamboo chopping board is a light-duty prep surface used for garnish work, small-batch herb chopping, and front-of-house cheese or charcuterie presentation. At this diameter, it suits single-station prep tasks in bars, cafés, or pastry sections rather than high-volume butchery or main-line vegetable processing. Bamboo construction absorbs less moisture than hardwood, reducing warping in humid commercial environments.
Commercial Application
This board fits into workflows where space is limited and cross-contamination protocols require dedicated surfaces for specific ingredients. Baristas use it for lemon slicing. Pastry chefs portion dough. Front-of-house staff assemble small cheese plates without tying up main prep stations.
During service, the 25cm diameter handles single-order tasks—slicing garnishes, portioning butter, trimming herbs. Staff can hold it in one hand while working at speed. The round profile means no corners to clean around sinks or storage racks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this board suitable for commercial meat preparation?
A: No. The 25cm diameter and bamboo construction suit light-duty tasks: garnish prep, cheese portioning, herb chopping. High-volume butchery requires larger polyethylene boards with colour-coded allergen control.
Q: Can this board be cleaned in commercial dishwashers?
A: Hand washing is required. Prolonged heat and detergent exposure in commercial dishwashers will crack bamboo fibres and strip the mineral oil finish. Sanitise with diluted bleach solution (1:10 ratio) after each shift.
Q: Does TurcoBazaar ship this product to North America?
A: Yes. We ship to the USA and Canada from UK stock. Lead time is 7–10 working days for air freight on small orders. Container shipments for bulk quantities are quoted separately.
Q: What after-sales support is included?
A: TurcoBazaar provides care instructions for bamboo maintenance, replacement scheduling for high-turnover operations, and HACCP compliance documentation. Material safety data sheets are available for hygiene audits.
Q: Are spare parts or replacements available for damaged boards?
A: Replacement boards ship from UK stock within 48 hours. Volume buyers receive priority allocation during peak trading periods. No serviceable parts—damaged boards are replaced rather than repaired.
