A serving board makes serving food a more sensory experience. The warmth, grain and soft glow of the wood create a tranquil setting for the food – whether the menu features tapas, lunch, sushi or a hot dish served on a board. At Eat-On-Bornholm, you’ll find a range of wooden platters, each with its own purpose.
Walnut serving board
The walnut serving boards are available in three sizes. The dark tones create a warm and distinctive look that complements cheese, charcuterie, bread, fruit, small dishes and sweet treats. Choose the size to suit your meal, or combine several boards on a shared table.
Oak chopping board for hot dishes
The steak plank is made of oak and has a juice groove. It is designed for dishes such as plank-grilled steak and plank-grilled fish, and can be used in the oven at a maximum temperature of 220 °C. Always follow the product instructions and handle the hot plank with care.
The two types of plank therefore have different properties: the walnut planks are for plating up and serving, whilst the oak steak plank has been designed for hot dishes.
From everyday meals to a special evening
- Serve open sandwiches or a simple lunch straight from the wood.
- Put together some cheese, fruit and snacks for a casual get-together.
- Use a smaller plank for coffee, bread or dessert.
- Serve a plank steak or plank-grilled fish on the oak steak plank.
How to look after your tree
Always wash the wooden board by hand using mild soap, and dry it straight away. Do not leave it to soak or put it in the dishwasher. Treat it as required with an oil suitable for contact with food. This will ensure the wood retains its lustre and durability for as long as possible.
