What is the BEST kitchen chopping board type?

Firstly, what makes a great chopping board?

 

1 - The CORRECT chopping board material

 

BECAUSE a staggering 60,000 knife accidents happen a year in the UK due to dull or blunt knife blades!

 

So, WHAT is the biggest culprit of dulling or blunting knife blades?


ANSWER – The chopping board MATERIAL type!

Glass, granite and marble are terrible surfaces to cut and chop on and will dull your knives very quickly.

Plastic, it may shock you how bad plastic cutting boards are for your knives and for kitchen safety. Plastic cutting boards are terrible all around: they rapidly dull the blades of your knives, you end up with nasty microplastic particles in your food, and importantly, they are also horrendous for the environment.

2 - The BEST chopping board material?

Without doubt the best surface to cut food on is a wood chopping board that’s not too hard nor too soft. Bamboo chopping boards, Cherry and Maple are recognised as the best chopping boards.

3 - The BEST type of wood for chopping board material?


WE believe that BAMBOO is by far the best materialfor many reasons.

Bamboo won’t absorb water, crack or peel, has unique anti-bacterial properties and wont dull or blunt sharp knives.

BAMBOO - The best and safest, eco-friendly wood chopping board!
