Maple ham board – round chopping board with juice groove

Your guests are already at the table, the roast is resting – and when you carve it, the juices no longer run across the worktop but collect quietly in the groove. That's exactly what this round maple ham board with juice groove is made for: cut, arrange and serve straight away – all on one board. It turns a simple wooden plate into something that feels made for your cold supper.

What changes for you

• You can cut meat, fruit or vegetables without juice running onto the table – thanks to the juice groove running all the way round, which reliably catches everything.
• You serve straight from the board and save yourself transferring food – because the round wooden plate works as both a chopping board and a serving board.
• Your buffet or snack platter looks lovingly arranged. The light maple wood brings out the colours of ham, cheese and fruit.
• You're holding a durable board – made from a single piece of maple, not glued laminated wood, and neatly finished.
• You'll find exactly the right size – from a small snack plate at 16 cm to a large platter 35 cm in diameter.

Why this ham board makes a difference every day

A round wooden board on the table changes the mood: a cold supper feels more inviting, dinner more relaxed, the buffet more orderly. Instead of china and plastic boards, you have a warm natural material in front of you that feels lovely and goes with almost any tableware. And because cutting and serving happen on the same board, the kitchen stays tidy – and you get to spend more time with your guests.

Material & finish

The ham board is made of maple with a light, smooth surface that shows the wood's texture – pleasant to hold and a calm backdrop for whatever you arrange on it. Each plate is made from a single piece, not glued laminated wood, and neatly finished, which makes it sturdy enough for everyday use. It is made in the EU. As a purely natural material, every board shows its own grain: colour variations, small irregularities or knots are not flaws – they make your board one of a kind.

Good to know about maple

Maple has always been one of the classic woods for kitchen boards: it's light, hard and odour-neutral, so it passes on neither taste nor smell to food. That's exactly why the ham board is just as good for cutting meat as for arranging mild cheese or fresh fruit.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: after use, simply wipe it with a damp cloth – done. The board shouldn't go in the dishwasher, as heat and prolonged moisture take their toll on natural wood. That way your maple board keeps its smooth surface and its light, friendly look for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can the ham board go in the dishwasher? No, the board is not dishwasher-safe. Simply clean it with a damp cloth.

Is the board made from one piece? Yes, each plate is made from a single piece of maple – no glued laminated wood is used.

Why does my board look different from the picture? Wood is a natural material: lightness, grain and small knots vary from board to board. That's exactly what makes each piece one of a kind.

What is the juice groove for? The groove running all the way round catches the juices released when cutting meat, fruit or vegetables, so your table and worktop stay clean.

In the end, it's not about a board with a groove. It's about the moment you carve the roast at your leisure, put the cold supper on the table – and nothing ends up where it shouldn't. Just choose the size that suits your table, and Bütic will send your maple board to your door.
