How to Choose the Right Cutting Board

Choosing the right cutting board comes down to material, durability, and purpose. Wooden boards are gentle on knives and great for fruits, veggies, and bread. Bamboo is a popular eco-friendly choice—lightweight and hard, but it can dull knives faster.

Plastic boards are easy to clean and ideal for raw meat, since they can go in the dishwasher. Glass boards may look stylish but can damage knives over time.

Consider having a few types: one for produce, one for meats, and another for baked goods. This not only keeps your kitchen more hygienic but also extends the life of your tools.
