Most people overlook cutting boards, but a great board can protect your knives, prevent contamination, and even double as a stylish serving surface.
1. Types of Cutting Boards
-
Wooden Boards – Gentle on knives, naturally antibacterial, and visually beautiful.
-
Plastic Boards – Lightweight, easy to sanitize, great for raw meat and seafood.
-
Bamboo Boards – Eco-friendly, durable, and harder than traditional wood.
2. Size and Thickness Matter
Choose a board large enough to comfortably handle meal prep without overcrowding. A thicker board is more stable and resists warping over time.
3. Maintenance Tips
-
Hand-wash wooden boards and oil them regularly to keep them in top shape.
-
Sanitize plastic boards after each use, especially when cutting raw meat.
-
Avoid putting any board in the dishwasher unless it's labeled as dishwasher-safe.
