Certain important parameters help you pick a good board, but the ultimate decision is mainly influenced by your use and the food types you’d be cutting on it. When picking a cutting board, always consider the material it is made from. Wooden cutting boards are considered the best and most durable of all, but they can be a bit of a bother too. Wooden boards are great for knives as they don’t damage them. They need to be hand-washed and cleaned frequently to keep them safe and hygienic. Plastic boards are rather easier to clean and are lightweight, but they are less sturdy. You’ll need to replace them far earlier than wooden ones. Other material options include teak, bamboo, glass, and composite materials.
Size is another important consideration. A large cutting board gives a huge canvas to work on. The more space you have, the better. However, consider a size that can easily be stored in your kitchen. Usually, a 15-inch cutting board is fairly practical, but if you’re aiming big, go for a 21-inch width.
Your cutting board should be safe and practical to use. Thick, large wooden cutting boards are more stable and sturdy. They do not slip around and keep the cutting and chopping station in place. Almost all kinds of plastic cutting boards need an additional non-slip mat underneath to prevent slipping. You can also use non-slip rubber frames or grips that go under them for support and around the board to make it easier to carry. Lastly, if you’ll be displaying the board on the countertop, you’ll need to consider the looks as well.
A: Cutting board material, cleaning, and maintenance can have a huge impact on your health. It is important to use a safe cleaner and develop an efficient, strict cleaning routine. Wooden cutting boards do not go in the dishwasher; you need to hand wash them with soap and water while giving extra attention to marked-up areas. You can also use a bit of vinegar, bleach, or lemon juice with it. After you wash it, dry it immediately. After drying, apply a non-toxic oil such as pure tung oil, raw linseed oil, walnut oil, food-grade mineral oil, fractionated coconut oil, beeswax, carnauba wax, and shellac. If you or a family member is allergic to nuts and seeds, avoid the oils altogether. To maintain a wooden cutting board in the best of its shape, oil it after every use for the first month or two, and condition it every 3–4 weeks or as needed. To condition the board, use food-grade mineral oil and a tub of cream to seal the surface.
A: The best cutting board for meat is perhaps one made from durable plastic that comes with a well to collect the juices. Plastic cutting boards are easier to clean and maintain hygiene. They do not retain juices from the meat as a wooden cutting board would, and they are easier to clean up. Plastic boards can also go safely into a dishwasher for high-heat, deep sanitization. You can look for a plastic board for cutting meat that is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation for safety. They’re made from high-density polyethylene, which is non-absorbent and non-porous.
