The best cutting boards are thick and strong boards typically used in the kitchen during cooking preparation. Many people choose to cut vegetables and other food on plates, but this can be messy and damage a plate. Enter the cutting board! Wood is the most common material for cutting boards although you can also find other materials used like plastic and marble. A cutting board is truly an essential part of your kitchen so as to prevent knife marks when cutting food. The board will absorb these marks and if it’s of wood, will typically “heal” over time. They come in varying widths and sizes.
