The Art of Buying the Right Wood Cutting Board for Your Kitchen

Wood cutting boards are a central part of the operational functionality of a kitchen, not to mention the ability to provide aesthetic value to the kitchen décor as well. Choosing the right wood cutting board for your kitchen is essential to ensuring the longevity and functionality of the board. If you can buy the best possible wood cutting board, and you invest the care required to properly maintain it, it is possible that this cutting board can be passed down through the family for generations to come. Novelty Cutting Boards offers a wide variety of wood cutting boards for virtually every occasion.

The Size of the Cutting Board is Important

The size of the cutting board that you purchase is immensely important, because the size will dictate how useful the cutting board will be during the cooking experience, as well as dictate how the board will be stored afterwards. The board will have to fit comfortably on the counter. The idea is to get as much cutting board as your counter space will allow. The larger the cutting board, the more functional it will be.

Shape and Thickness Are Also Important

The shape of the board is generally determined by personal preference, but it can also be dictated by the design of the kitchen, so, both should be considered when making your decision.

End-Grain or Flat-Grain (Reversible)

Industry experts concur that end-grain cutting boards are the best and most durable cutting boards available. In addition to the durability of the end-grain cutting board, the aesthetic appeal of the board is also a powerful benefit.

Flat-grain cutting boards are the most popular type of wood cutting boards on the market. They are not as costly as the end-grain boards, but they still offer exceptional durability and beauty.

While some people opt for the cheaper, plastic cutting boards, research reveals that plastic cutting boards are more likely to trap bacteria, which can negatively impact the health of your family. Wood cutting boards possess significant antimicrobial qualities that help resist the trapping of bacteria within the board.

While you must obviously consider the budget that you are working with, you should not make price your first priority. Because making the purchase could land you a cutting board that will last for years, you should focus on quality first.
