5 Clever Uses for a Tempered Glass Chopping Board (Including as an Induction Cooktop Cover!
If you're looking to upgrade your kitchen with a stylish yet practical accessory, look no further than a tempered glass chopping board. Unlike traditional wooden or plastic boards, tempered glass offers a sleek, hygienic, and heat-resistant surface that goes far beyond basic food prep.
In fact, many homeowners are turning to these versatile glass chopping boards for a wide range of clever kitchen uses — including as an induction cooktop cover, like you’ll see in our photo below.
Here are five creative and functional ways to use your tempered glass chopping board every day:
1. A Durable & Hygienic Food Prep Surface
Tempered glass is naturally non-porous, which means it won’t absorb moisture, bacteria, or odours. It’s easy to wipe clean and dishwasher-safe, making it one of the most hygienic chopping surfaces available. Use it for slicing vegetables, prepping meat, or rolling out dough — and enjoy peace of mind every time.
2. Stylish Induction Cooktop Cover
When your induction cooktop isn’t in use, why let that surface go to waste? Place your tempered glass chopping board over your induction hob to instantly create more counter space. Not only does it protect your cooktop from scratches and spills, but it also adds a modern, polished look to your kitchen (as shown in the photo). It’s perfect for small kitchens where space is at a premium!
3. Heat-Resistant Trivet or Hot Plate
Thanks to its heat resistance, your glass board doubles as a trivet for hot pans, baking dishes, or kettles. Unlike wooden or plastic boards that can warp or melt, tempered glass holds up beautifully to heat — protecting your benchtops from damage.
4. A Decorative Serving Platter
Hosting guests? Use your glass chopping board as a cheese board, antipasto tray, or dessert platter. Its modern design adds a touch of elegance to your table, and it’s easy to wipe clean between courses. Choose from clear, printed, or frosted styles to match your aesthetic.
5. Pastry Board or Instant Splashback
Need a cool, smooth surface for working dough or chocolate? A tempered glass chopping board makes the perfect pastry board — naturally non-stick and easy to clean. You can also lean it against the wall when not in use to act as a temporary splashback, protecting your tiles or paint from grease and water splashes while cooking.
