A good cutting 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.

Experts and professional chefs advise that you buy the best 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 food preparation 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 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 these boards, the index colour-coded system and cleaning methods and other aspects of kitchen care.

Modern life is getting busier all the time so it’s important to have a quality board in your kitchen so you can prepare your meat and vegetable quickly, safely and efficiently.

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