Advantages of using a chopping board
Protect kitchen surfaces with a chopping board
Chopping boards serve as a protective surface for your kitchen counter and work surface by preventing knives and other sharp tools from damaging the surface.
Hygienic cooking with a chopping board
By using a chopping board, you minimise the risk of cross-contamination between different foods. By assigning a chopping board for each type of food (for example, one for vegetables and one for raw meat), you can avoid bacteria spreading from one food to another.
Longer service life of your knives
By using a wood or plastic chopping board instead of chopping directly on stone or laminate work surfaces, you can extend the life of your kitchen knives by avoiding dullness.
Chopping boards are versatile
In addition to being used for chopping and cutting food, chopping boards can also be used as serving trays for cheeses, delicacies, or appetisers.
Frequently asked questions about chopping boards
How do I best clean a chopping board?
Start by rinsing the chopping board with warm water and dishwashing liquid. Use a sponge or brush to scrub away food residue and any dirt. Avoid using strong cleaners or soaking wood chopping boards for too long, as this can damage the wood.
Which type of chopping board is best: wood or plastic?
Wood chopping boards are popular for their natural and stylish look and ability to resist wear from knives. Plastic chopping boards are easy to clean and can usually be washed in a dishwasher, making them practical in a busy kitchen. So the chopping board you should buy depends on your personal preferences and how it will be used.
