Why Thousands of Americans Are Ditching Plastic Cutting Boards – And Switching to This Titanium One Developed by a Top Food Chemist & Father

Left: Scratched plastic board full of grooves. Right: Katori titanium surface – smooth, hygienic, lasting.
Do you think your cutting board is hygienic? The truth may shock you.
Every day, we use it to cut bread, vegetables, meat, and fruit for ourselves and our children. A quick rinse with water, maybe a little dish soap—done. Looks clean, right?
But experts warn: What you see is only a fraction of the truth. The real problem lies where you can’t see it—in the deep cut marks, pores, and plastic surface of many cutting boards. This is where invisible mixtures of microplastics, bacteria, and residues form, which can end up directly in your food when you cut.
What most people don't know
Problem #1: Every knife “shaves” particles off your board. With every cut, tiny plastic particles are released from scratched plastic boards – invisible microplastics that end up in your food. With wooden and bamboo boards, it is worn-off varnishes, oils, and protective coatings whose microparticles also end up on your plate unnoticed.
Problem #2: Deep grooves are a paradise for germs. Meat juices, vegetable juices, and moisture collect in the fine cut marks. Bacteria nests form there, which survive even after rinsing – perfectly protected in the grooves.
Problem #3: Dishwashers make it worse. Hot water and detergent roughen plastic and bamboo boards – the surface becomes porous, even more particles are released, and germs have more to hold on to. At the same time, most dishwasher programs do not kill all bacteria – so the board becomes rougher and therefore even more unhygienic.
Problem #4: Wood and bamboo are not automatically “healthy.”Natural boards absorb moisture, blood, and grease 5 times more! This causes mold or odors to develop inside, which are not visible from the outside. This is particularly critical with raw meat.
Problem #5: Everything ends up where it is most dangerous – in your food. What comes off the board does not remain on the work surface, but goes directly into what you are cutting: fruit for children, snacks, vegetables, meat. Babies and toddlers with sensitive organisms are particularly affected by this.
Many people struggle with recurring gastrointestinal complaints, inflammation, or allergies without realizing that their old cutting board could be contributing to the problem.
💡 Why previous solutions fail: Buying a new plastic board only solves the problem in the short term—after a few weeks, it will be scratched again. Wooden and bamboo boards appear “natural,” but they crack, absorb liquids, and are difficult to keep truly hygienically clean.
This is exactly where the story of Dr. Harry Dolan begins
The American food chemist and father of a one-year-old son experienced every parent’s nightmare: his little boy was in hospital for four days with a severe gastrointestinal infection – the worst days of his life, as he says. The doctors discovered that the germs came from a plastic cutting board that the parents used only for their child’s fruit and vegetables – full of invisible grooves, bacteria, and abrasions.
“At that moment, I realized that the problem wasn’t that we weren’t cleaning enough. The problem was that we were cutting on the wrong surface—plastic and wood—which released countless germs and particles into the food.”
Dr. Dolan began researching—not for the next “antibacterial” plastic board, but for a completely different approach. His solution: a non-porous cutting board made of pure titanium that does not release microplastic particles, does not absorb liquids, and can be completely cleaned in seconds.
The result: KATORI – the titanium cutting board.
What makes Katori™ so special
The “secret” of Katori lies not in any coating, but in the material itself: pure titanium—a metal that is also used in medical technology and professional kitchens.
- Non-porous surface: Titanium is extremely smooth and non-absorbent – there are no micro-cracks where meat juices, bacteria or dyes can become trapped.
- No abrasion, no microplastics: Unlike plastic or coated wood, titanium does not release any particles into food – no matter how often you cut.
- Antibacterial properties: Titanium surfaces are naturally very low in germs; common kitchen bacteria find it much more difficult to adhere and multiply.
- Gentle on knives: The specially treated titanium surface is hard and smooth, but not 'glass-like' – so you can cut precisely without dulling your knife blades.
- Cleaning in seconds: Thanks to the hard, smooth structure, hot water and a little dish soap are usually enough – after that, the surface is hygienically clean again.
In short: instead of producing invisible particles, germs, and duller knives with every cut, you cut on a stable, hygienic titanium surface that is made to last a lifetime.
Safe, non-toxic, easy to clean – ideal for any kitchen
Katori™ is made from 100% pure titanium – with no coatings, plasticizers, BPA, or other chemicals that can leach out. This makes it ideal for households with children, pregnant women, seniors, and pets.
You can cut anything on Katori: fruit & vegetables for baby food, meat, fish & poultry, bread, cheese & cold cuts, onions, garlic & strongly coloring foods. Titanium is taste-neutral, does not react with acids (e.g., lemon, tomato) and does not release any substances into food.
The smooth, non-porous surface is easy to clean with hot water and a little dish soap—no special cleaning agents, no scrubbing, no worries about microplastics or peeling paint.
What customers are saying about Katori™
Mittlerweile nutzen über 127.000 Deutsche den WC-Reinigungsschaum. Die Rückmeldungen sind überwältigend:
Emily J.
“I cook for my family daily – veggies, meat for the kids. Thought dishwasher-cleaned plastic boards were fine. Then I read about germs in the cuts and got worried. Katori solved it: smooth surface, nothing absorbs, super hygienic. I’m way more relaxed cutting for the kids now.”
Jessica W.
“I’m 67 and used plastic and wooden boards my whole life – scratched, stained, gross. Reading about microplastics made me sick. The Katori titanium board arrived and felt premium and solid. Cleans in seconds, no stains, no odors. Best part: my knives stay sharp way longer – no dulling! I tossed all my old boards. Katori is the only one I use now.”
Matthew M.
“My kids laughed when I brought home a ‘titanium cutting board from the internet’ – ‘Dad and his gadgets.’ But once they saw how easy it is to clean, no smells, no stains, they shut up. The real win: my knives stay razor-sharp no matter how much I chop. Katori has a permanent spot on my counter.”
Is cleaning complicated? – On the contrary.
Katori™ does not require any special cleaning products or extra care. After cutting, simply rinse the board briefly with hot water, add a drop of dish soap, and wipe it down with a sponge or cloth—that’s it. No grooves where food can get stuck, no swelling, no oiling, no sanding.
If you like, you can also put Katori in the dishwasher. Important: Afterwards, simply dry it off or let it air dry – this will keep the titanium surface hygienically smooth and ready for the next use.
Where can I buy the Katori™ cutting board?
Katori™ is available exclusively from the manufacturer in the official online store. It is not sold on Amazon, eBay, in supermarkets, or on other platforms.
Important: Due to the success of titanium cutting boards, numerous cheap copies have appeared on the market—visually similar, but often made of inferior metals or coated materials that cause the same problems: abrasion, scratches, and germs. Therefore, only trust the original Katori™ – developed in America – and order exclusively from the official store.
