12 best cutting boards

It is practically impossible to do without cooking boards in the kitchen. Despite the fact that there are modern tabletops, not afraid of the impact of the blades of knives, yet few people want to soil them once again. Our experts got acquainted with a huge number of options, studied user reviews, and ranked the top 12 cutting boards.

How to choose a cutting board

1. Purpose. Ideally, you should have at least four boards: for meat, fish, bread, as well as vegetables, fruits and cooked foods. Thermally unprocessed meat and fish contain microorganisms that, when released into the human body, can cause various diseases. Boards for fish usually have a more elongated shape, so that it is more convenient to carve. Vegetables, fruits, for example, beets can paint the board and leave a smell, so cutting bread on such a surface is not recommended, for this you should purchase a separate model.
2. Material. Depending on the product, choose the material. For meat it is better to buy a board made of bamboo or other hard woods. For fish, an option made of artificial material, preferably one that does not absorb odors, such as glass or food grade plastic, is suitable. For vegetables, fruits and boiled products, you can choose a board from both natural and artificial materials. Bakery products can also be cut on both wooden and plastic / glass cutting boards.
3. The size. Convenience of cutting directly depends on the size. The board should fit the largest piece. For example, when buying a model for butchering fish, look at how long it is. Do not purchase a product that is significantly smaller than whole fish of the kind that you usually prefer to cook (salmon, herring, chum, etc.).
4. Functionality. Some models have a handle that allows you to move the board from place to place. But now its presence is not so important, as modern square, rectangular, round and oval variants have projections, indentations, etc., which is easy to grasp with your hand. But a hanging hole and a flute for collecting fluids are needed. In the first case, you can place the board on the kitchen hook to keep it always at hand, and in the second case you don’t stain the table surface, since all the juice will gather in a special recess that usually passes around the entire perimeter. When buying a board made of sliding material (glass, plastic), choose a product with special rubberized legs that allow the board to be fixed on the table top.
5. Blade protection. The blade of the knife becomes blunt not only from cutting food, but also from contact with the cutting board, therefore, in order to prolong the life of the sharpening, choose models from certain materials: soft and hard wood, butt board (a monolith of small glued wooden bars, belongs to professional cooking equipment ), thick plastic (polypropylene, vinyl plastic, polyamide, etc.).Boards made of artificial stone, glass and thin cheap plastic quickly blunt blade. Remember that glass models can not be cut with ceramic knives.
