Long raw teak bread plate 45 cm

Key measurements for finding the right location:

• Dimensions: 45 x 9 cm
• Height: 2 cm

Everything you need to know about the material:

• Material: Solid teak hand-carved with a gouge, unfinished and unsanded
• Visible gouge marks across the entire length of the bottom
• Non-straight edges, following the shape of the original board
• Handle carved continuously, with a hole for hanging
• Groove less than one centimeter deep
• No food contact treatment documented by the manufacturer

The elongated format does exactly what a basket doesn't: it lines up the slices instead of piling them, so each one remains visible and doesn't dry out as quickly from contact with the others. Hung on the wall when not in use, it becomes an object in its own right, something no bread basket achieves.

What you need to know to install and maintain it:

• Dry brush across the grain after each use
• Grease residues from crusts remain at the bottom of the grooves and cause the board to go rancid
• Wash only occasionally, with immediate wiping
• Neutral cooking oil every two months, un-sanded raw teak absorbs quickly
