What exactly the best cutting board is depends on several factors. A good cutting board is durable, gentle on your knives, and suits your way of cooking. Wooden cutting boards, such as those made from beech wood or bamboo, are popular for their natural look and knife-friendly surface. We recommend using multiple cutting boards, as this helps prevent cross-contamination.
Beech wood and bamboo are popular choices. They're hard, durable, and have natural antibacterial properties.
Wash the board by hand, dry it immediately, and rub it regularly with mineral oil. This prevents it from drying out and cracking.
For cutting meat, we recommend a large cutting board with a juice groove. This catches the juices easily, keeping your countertop clean. After use, be sure to clean the cutting board thoroughly.
