Stalgast Butcher Block for Professional Worktops 680541

A butcher block provides a sturdy, hygienic surface for cutting, portioning and preparing meat in professional kitchens. The block stands on a stainless steel frame that raises the cutting plate to a comfortable working height, reducing strain on the operator's back and arms during long shifts. The polyethylene plate absorbs the impact of knives, protecting both the blade and the worktop beneath it, while resisting deep cuts that can harbour bacteria.

To use the block, the operator places it on a level worktop or floor, ensuring all four legs are stable. Meat, poultry or fish is laid directly on the polyethylene surface, which is non-porous and easy to sanitise between tasks. After each use, the plate can be lifted from the frame for thorough cleaning, while the stainless steel base is wiped down to remove any residue.

The polyethylene cutting plate measures 500 mm wide, 400 mm deep and 50 mm thick, offering ample space for portioning large joints or whole carcasses. The stainless steel base raises the plate to a total height of 850 mm, a standard worktop height that aligns with most professional kitchen counters and sinks. The frame's open design allows easy access for cleaning underneath and prevents debris from accumulating.

The polyethylene plate is resistant to moisture, oils and cleaning chemicals, ensuring it does not warp or degrade over time. The stainless steel base is corrosion-resistant and supports the weight of heavy cuts without bending or flexing. No additional tools or assembly is required; the block is ready for immediate use once unboxed.

Cleaning is straightforward: the polyethylene plate can be scrubbed with hot water and detergent or sanitised with approved kitchen disinfectants. The stainless steel frame is wiped with a damp cloth and dried to prevent water spots. Regular cleaning prevents cross-contamination and extends the lifespan of both the plate and the base.
