Why choose the right cutting board ?

The cutting board is a must in the kitchen. It is a tool that can be used every day.

You use it to cut your food and make good recipes. So you need to choose your cutting board carefully. We explain here why.

Choosing the right cutting board... to keep it for a long time

If you like to cook, you probably use your cutting board every day. As you do, it can become damaged with knife marks. 

Choosing your cutting board carefully allows you to keep it longer. This is good for the environment, as you will have to replace it less often, but it is also good for your wallet, of course.

Choosing the right cutting board ... for more hygienic cooking

When you're chopping your ingredients on your board, the last thing you want is for bacteria to get into your delicious preparations.

Contrary to what you might think, wooden cutting boards are the most hygienic boards because wood is porous and therefore draws in bacteria and eliminates them. 

Plastic cutting boards, on the other hand, are not very good in terms of hygiene.

Choosing the right cutting board ... to find the one that suits you best

You and your neighbor are completely different. Maybe you cook every day and he only cooks twice a week (and often pizzas or lasagnas where the use of the wooden board is unnecessary).

You will therefore not have the same use for your cutting board. 

Some will need a professional board, a meat board, a bread board, others a vegetable board.

You may need a large board because you have a large family and your neighbor will need a small board. So find the cutting board that works best for you based on your needs.
