7 Reasons Caravanners Are Switching to a Titanium Chopping Board
If you live on the road, the humble chopping board might be costing you water, bench space and your weekend. Here is why so many grey nomads have made the switch.
If you cook in a caravan or motorhome, you already know the chopping board is one of the most annoying things in the galley. There is no proper kitchen, no big sink, and you cannot waste half your water tank scrubbing a board clean.
So wood goes mouldy, plastic stains and holds the smell of last night's fish, and both take real water to clean. There is a better way, and thousands of Aussie travellers have already found it.
You can wash it with a cupful of water
Out bush, water is gold. A wooden board soaks up everything, so you have to scrub it and rinse it properly, and there goes half your jerry can. Titanium is non-porous. Nothing soaks in. A quick splash and a wipe and it is actually clean, not just looking clean.
No sink, no scrubbing, no oiling. Just rinse and go. Your tank lasts longer and so does your patience.
Raw meat juices can't soak in
When the nearest doctor is three hours away, a dodgy tummy is no joke. On wood and old plastic, raw chicken and fish juices sink into the grooves where a quick rinse can never reach them.
Titanium has no holes or knife cuts for nasties to hide in. Use one side for raw and one for cooked, give it a rinse, and you know it is clean. Peace of mind, a long way from home.
It won't rust, warp or go mouldy in the van
Vans get damp. Condensation, sea air, the odd leak. Wood warps and grows mould in the cupboard, and a steel board will rust. You end up chucking boards out on the road.
Titanium does not rust and does not soak up moisture, so it will not warp, crack or smell. Pack it away a bit damp if you have to. It will be fine.
It packs flat and barely adds weight
You already watch every kilo so you do not blow past your ATM. A thick wooden block or a glass board is dead weight you do not need.
This board is thin and light. It slides flat into a drawer, and one board does the lot, so you can leave the others at home. Less weight, more room, less to rattle on the corrugations.
You can rest a hot pan straight on it
One burner. A bench the size of a tea towel. Nowhere to put the hot pan. Sound familiar?
Titanium is heat resistant, so you can sit a hot pot or pan straight on the board and free up your cooktop. In a tiny galley, that bit of extra space changes the whole cook.
It won't blunt your good knives
Most folks think metal will wreck their knives. Not this one. Titanium is softer than steel, so it is gentle on your blades, far kinder than a glass or ceramic board.
Your knives stay sharp for longer, which matters when you are a fair way from the nearest shop.
Buy it once and it'll outlast the van
It is made in Japan from Grade 1 pure titanium, the same family of metal used in aircraft. No plastic, no coating, no microplastics in your food.
This is the last chopping board you will ever pack. Buy it once, and it will keep going trip after trip after trip.

Common questions from the road
How do I clean it out bush?
Just rinse it under water and wipe it dry. No scrubbing, no soaking, no oiling. When you are back on mains water it is dishwasher safe too.
Will it blunt my knives?
No. Titanium is softer than steel, so it is gentle on your blades, far kinder than a glass or ceramic board.
Won't metal rust in a damp van?
No. It is Grade 1 pure titanium, which does not rust and does not absorb moisture, so it will not warp, crack or go mouldy.
What size suits a caravan?
The Medium (34cm x 23cm) is the favourite for vans and small benches. Sizes go up to Extra Large if you have the room.
How do I know it is genuine?
Prime Aussies boards are sold only on our website and made in Japan from Grade 1 titanium. If you see one cheaper elsewhere, it is not a genuine Prime Aussies board.
