Cutting boards are relatively simple kitchen items that make food preparation easier. There are features that make a good cutting board, and you need to note them so that you recognize them when you go shopping for one. These features include:

• Quality of Material: This determines its functionality and durability
• Type of Material: Is it plastic, wood or bamboo?
• Ease of Use and Maintenance: It should be easy to use and maintain
• Non-Slip Feet or Edges: This helps the board remain firmly in place when in use
• Versatility: Does it have the capacity to be multi-functional?
• Eco-Friendly Materials and Safe Finishing: Look for certification by bodies such as the FDA and the National Sanitation Foundation
• Working with Knives: How does the board affect the blades of your knives?

Cutting boards can be made of different materials, such as glass, wood, plastic or bamboo.Each material has its advantages and disadvantages. Wooden cutting boards are usually durable and retain their shapes over time. They are also good for heavy-duty tasks. This makes wood a favorite with gourmet chefs and busy homemakers who carry out a lot of culinary activities. You need to know the type of tasks that you intend to use the board for. This helps determine the type of cutting board material that’s best for you.

Although plastic cutting boards may warp and be distorted, they're usually lightweight, so it's convenient to move your chopped items from worktop to stove. If you want a plastic cutting board, be sure that it has certifications that guarantee that it’s safe and is made from food grade materials.

Bamboo is said to be stronger and more durable than the best of woods, and it's eco-friendly. Most bamboo manufacturers insist on using only organic materials for their products. This is good news for the environment.

Cutting boards have an irritating tendency to slip around on the countertop when in use. Most good brands design boards with non-slip feet or edges, or other features that help to keep the board firmly in place while in use.

Most cutting boards are designed to be dual-sided. This means that you can use either side for your cutting tasks. Some boards have a grooved side that's ideal for cutting up meat and related items, and another side that's flat and provides space for you to work. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination.

Some cutting boards make your knives blunt. Try to find out what users say about the interaction between your board and knives.

There are boards that can be machine washed (they are dishwasher safe), but almost every cutting board is easy to clean and maintain. Some brands make oil that can be bought separately and used to prolong the life and aesthetics of the board.
