Pro Prep Block

The Pro Prep Block is a chef's dream, offering a four-inch thick Northern hard rock maple butcher block top, pot rack, lower storage shelf, two stainless steel towel holders, and optional locking caster wheels—all in one beautiful package. The butcher block surface stands at 36 inches, an ideal height for food preparation. The pot rack, which stands an additional 34 inches above the butcher block top, features a stainless steel bar with hooks that can be adjusted, letting you keep your favorite pots, pans, and utensils within easy reach (pot rack is optional; please use the drop down menu above to add a pot rack to your order). The decorative under-shelf is made of individual maple slats and is a perfect place to store and display larger kitchen items. The stainless steel towel bars are great for hanging dishrags and kitchen towels; they also double as handles to use when moving the Pro Prep Block.

The four-inch thick maple butcher block top features end-grain construction, a harder, more durable construction that is easy on knives; during cutting or chopping, the end grain wood fibers absorb the impact of the blade, which keeps knives sharper longer. The malleable and forgiving end grain surface is resistant to nicks and gouges, which prevents bacteria from entering the wood, keeps the board looking new longer and increases its longevity. The work surface features the standard Boos block cream with beeswax finish. The Boos block cream penetrates deeply into the grains of the wood, leaving a silky wax barrier to lock moisture in, and allows your board to be used as a cutting surface.

Please note: if you would like caster wheels with your butcher block, please be sure to add them to your order when you make your purchase. This item is made to order. When caster wheels are added to an order at the time of purchase the legs are pre-drilled and cut in production to accept the casters. You will not be able to easily obtain or add caster wheels to your butcher block separately at a later date, so if you think you will want casters with your butcher block, please use the drop down menu above to include them with your order.

John Boos & Co is firmly committed to managing environmental matters as an integral part of their business practice. Some of the steps they take to accomplish their “green” status include manufacturing wood products that emit far less carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, methane and other gases than processing non-wood substitutes; using only formaldehyde free and low emission formaldehyde gluing processes in manufacturing our butcher blocks; and having active recycling programs in place with 95% of all raw materials, scrap, and even their sawdust recycled as fuel to heat their kilns. Boos’ sawdust is also recycled as livestock bedding for their local agricultural needs.
