Using a Glass Cutting Board: Style, Function, and Care Tips
A glass cutting board is more than just a kitchen tool — it’s a statement piece. Combining durability, hygiene, and beautiful design, these boards are quickly becoming a favourite for home cooks and entertainers alike. Whether you’re preparing dinner, serving a cheese platter, or simply looking for a kitchen accessory that doubles as décor, a glass cutting board offers both style and function.
At Middle Of Nowhere Creations, our glass cutting boards are inspired by the beauty of country living. From floral close-ups to outback scenes, each board brings a little touch of the Australian lifestyle into your kitchen.
Why Choose a Glass Cutting Board?
When most people think of cutting boards, they picture timber or plastic. But glass cutting boards have their own unique advantages:
-
Durability – Made from tempered glass, they can handle hot pans, boiling kettles, and sharp knives without warping or staining.
-
Easy to Clean – Glass is non-absorbent, making it easy to rinse or wipe clean, helping maintain kitchen hygiene.
-
Odour & Stain Resistant – Unlike timber, glass doesn’t hold onto strong smells like garlic, onion, or fish.
-
Stylish Designs – The clear or printed surface makes them just as suitable for serving as for prepping food.
Our range features images taken right here in the Australian outback, along with uniquely designed graphics meaning every piece tells a story as well as serving a purpose.
How to Use a Glass Cutting Board in Your Kitchen
Using a glass cutting board is straightforward, but there are ways to get the most out of it:
-
Food Preparation – Perfect for chopping vegetables, slicing bread, or preparing meat.
-
Serving Platter – The stylish designs make them ideal for serving cheese, fruit, or appetisers straight to the table.
-
Heat Protection – Because they’re heat resistant, you can rest hot pots or baking trays directly on them.
-
Pastry & Dough Rolling – The smooth glass surface is perfect for rolling out pastry, pizza dough, or biscuits without sticking.
If you’re concerned about knife wear (as glass is harder on blades than timber), keep a timber or plastic board for heavy-duty chopping and use your glass cutting board for serving, hot pots, and lighter prep. This way, you enjoy the beauty of the board for years to come.
Creative Uses Beyond the Kitchen
One of the best things about a glass cutting board is its versatility. Many of our customers use them beyond the kitchen:
-
As a Decorative Piece – Lean it against the splashback to add a pop of colour and style.
-
Plant Stand or Display Tray – Perfect under indoor plants to protect surfaces from water.
-
Craft or DIY Work Surface – Heat resistant and easy to clean, great for candle making, painting, or other hobbies.
