How do you care for a wooden cutting board?
Serious Eats / J. Kenji López-Alt
When it comes to choosing the right cutting board you have a few options for materials. The worst are made of glass or marble. That sound your knife makes as you move it back and forth on a metal cutting board? That’s the sound of your knife dying a thousand small but painful deaths as the blade dulls on the hard surface.
Much better are softer surfaces like plastic or wood. Modern plastic cutting boards like this OXO one I have are hard enough that they don’t absorb odors but soft enough that they won’t dull your knife. I use my plastic cutting boards for really tough jobs like splitting chicken bones or carving dense pumpkins with a large knife. If my knife makes a few slits in it no big deal. Plastic isn’t about aesthetics.
