Chopping board

[Daveya.]

Another rabbit hole bloody hell

Small kitchen , couple of decent knives , home cook using board daily

It seems you are supposed to get Japanese cedar ( Hinoki ) but they cost 90 quid with a tray user it ( need , due to space )

Bamboo a lot cheaper , any advice?

If you don't spend £90 on chopping boards and things maybe you could afford a bigger kitchen! ;-)

Oak chopping board. No need to spend a fortune. We still use an offcut from our oak work surface when it was installed, and also gave a few away from the offcuts.

My Dad told me.that maple was the traditional wood for a chopping board. Hard, close grained and not naturally scented. Probably cheaper than hinoki too.

I was looking at these the other day but couldn’t decide on sizing. Reviews look pretty decent but might turn the kitchen a bit too tactical/TZ.

For cooking many professionals only use plastic boards. Easy to keep clean.

To avoid cross contamination, just change it with a fresh one and put it in the dishwasher. Use the damp cloth below (to keep it from moving) to wipe the surface.

I have three small ones and three large ones.

I have a nice end grain block that I use for serving my steak on, but hate cleaning it after.

Most of my cutting is with the plastic / resin boards you see in commercial kitchens. Less scent / flavour transfer, can bung them in the dishwasher too after raw meat etc has been on them.

Edit - Franco & I clearly aligned here. Some of the boards can come with a rubber handle coating at the edges. This also helps with the slip prevention, if not then the damp cloth works wonders.

We use an end grain bamboo board for most things and it's good as new after over a decade of use. Looks a lot nicer than plastic too (although I do use plastic for raw meat).
