Choosing a cutting board
September 2, 2017
What do you need to know when choosing a chopping board?
Of course, firstly, it’s the material the board is made of. The material must be ecologically clean and firm, and not blunt the blade of the knife.
And the second criteria of choice is how easily and well a board can be cleaned. For the best choice also pay attention to the boards with handles and grooves for liquid drain. These boards are generally harder to clean.
Despite a large selection of kitchen boards made of plastic, glass and even stone, wooden boards remain the most popular.
Wood is a natural material and the most ecologically clean. It is soft enough so it does not blunt the knife, and the surface is coarse, which does not allow products to slip on the board.
Quality and cost depend on the type of wood - hardwood boards made of oak, beech or acacia are generally more durable.
