How to Select the Best Wooden Cutting Board

Other surfaces, like glass, ceramic and marble, are hard on knives and have other limitations, so they aren’t real contenders.

Get It Big Enough Cutting Board

You need more than one cutting board in your kitchen. You can easily cut a tomato on a big cutting board, but you can’t safely and precisely cut a roast on a small-size board. That’s why most cooks like to keep at least two, one small and one large, on hand.

Make sure the cutting board you choose is big enough for the job you’re doing. This gives you the room you need to safely maneuver the food and the knife without cutting yourself or damaging your counter.

Safe and Sanitary

Wood cutting boards have natural properties that stop the growth of bacteria. This anti-microbial ability makes them the most sanitary, safe choice. The surface is also able to self-heal. This reduces the effects of all the tiny cuts in the surface from the constant use of a knife. This means fewer nooks and crannies for bacteria to collect.

On the other hand, plastic develops more and more tiny scratches and nicks over time. Even when it is cleaned in the dishwasher, the plastic board harbors bacteria. This means it is less sanitary for the kitchen than wood.

Good for Your Knives

Wood is kinder to your knives. It is soft and has a small amount of give to it that makes it easier for a knife to hold an edge.

Plastic collects nicks and cuts. These create an uneven surface that makes it more likely your knife will catch, which scratches its edge and dulls it.
