Cutting boards

Kitchen cutting boards

A chopping board is one of the most frequently used kitchen tools – we use it when cutting vegetables, meat, bread, herbs and cheeses. Moreover, it can also serve as a stylish serving tray. A quality kitchen chopping board should be durable, hygienic, easy to maintain, and gentle on your knife edges.

Which material should I choose?

There are several types to choose from:

• Wooden chopping boards – natural, beautiful, and gentle on knives. However, they require regular oiling and are not dishwasher safe.
• Plastic chopping boards – lightweight, hygienic, and dishwasher safe. Ideal for slicing raw meat or fish.
• Silicone and flexible chopping boards – allow for the easy transfer of chopped ingredients thanks to their flexibility.
• Glass and stone chopping boards – easy to maintain; however, they aren't gentle on knife blades, so they are best suited for serving.

Care tips

• Regularly treat wooden chopping boards with oil to prevent cracking and liquid absorption.
• You can wash plastic chopping boards in the dishwasher, but we recommend replacing them more often due to surface wear.
• For hygiene, it's ideal to have several chopping boards in the kitchen – one specifically for meat, one for vegetables and another for bread.

A kitchen chopping board is an unassuming but essential tool. Invest in a quality piece that will last for years, making every food preparation process comfortable and safe.
