A good chopping board is a welcome addition to any kitchen - whether modern or traditional, round, square or rectangular - and is an invaluable accessory when preparing a range of meals in your home. Once you’ve used a good food preparation board, you’ll never want to be without one again. A chopping board is great for all your chopping, cutting, slicing and carving needs.

Experts and professional chefs advise that you buy the best chopping, cutting board or worktop saver you can afford and - in the case of quality wooden boards - they can be expected to last for generations if they are looked after with proper care and treated with chopping board oil.

For years wood was the most popular material for kitchen chopping boards. There are two main types - end grain and flat grain. Both are great for chopping meat, fish, vegetables and fruit.

But in the 1990s other types of boards - notably plastic - became popular as some gourmets started to view wooden boards as less hygienic, though many still argue wood is the safer.

There’s also the fact that wood chopping board is often not dishwasher safe. It can, however, be kept clean with hot water, mild detergents and sanitising sprays.

It’s important to take care when using knives with your chopping board - so we’ve included articles on this site to help you prepare meals safety by following the correct procedures. Other articles include advice on the risks of cross-contamination when using chopping boards, the index colour-coded system and cleaning methods and other aspects of kitchen care.

Food preparation should be a pleasure rather than a chore - so buying a good chopping board puts you well on the way to ensuring it’s the pleasant and rewarding experience you’re after.
