Hasegawa T20 Pro-Soft Lite Chopping Board 340x230mm

The Hasegawa T20 Pro-Soft Lite is a Japanese-made chopping board designed around one practical problem that affects every busy prep kitchen: blade wear. The board's surface has a measured degree of give to it — enough to cushion each cut and reduce the micro-damage that dulls a knife edge over the course of a shift. This is not a soft domestic board; the plastic construction is supported by a wood core that keeps the board rigid and flat under repeated use, resisting the warping that can make boards unstable and unhygienic over time.

In day-to-day prep, the difference shows in how the board handles sustained use. The surface grips food without slipping, which matters during fast, repetitive knife work, and the lightweight build means staff can move and reposition it without effort — a practical advantage in a busy section where boards are constantly picked up, rinsed, and put back down. Despite being lighter than a solid plastic board of equivalent size, it holds its shape well through high-temperature dishwasher cycles, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning routines.

• Knife-cushioning surface reduces blade dulling during extended prep
• Rigid wood-core construction resists warping even after repeated washing
• Lightweight build reduces handling fatigue and drop risk
• Grippy surface keeps food stable during precision cuts
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward daily hygiene compliance

At 340x230mm, this board is well suited to individual prep stations handling moderate volumes — fish and meat portioning, garnish work, or general veg prep. It is a practical everyday board rather than a high-throughput workhorse; kitchens running very high prep volumes across a full shift may find a larger or heavier-duty board a better fit for that workload.

If you are unsure which size or grade of board suits your prep setup, we are happy to talk it through.
