The Best Cutting Boards and How to Choose
Your cutting board affects your knife's edge and your food's safety. Here's how to choose the best one.
A good cutting board protects your knife edges and provides a safe, clean surface for food preparation. Here's what to look for and which ones to buy.
The best cutting boards are made of end-grain wood—they're gentle on knife edges, durable, and self-healing. The John Boos Maple Cutting Board at about one hundred twenty dollars is the professional standard.
For a budget option, the Ledgewood Walnut Board at about forty dollars offers excellent value.
Avoid glass, marble, and ceramic—these will quickly dull your knives.
