Susceptible to Warping: There's a reason why plastic cutting boards are so cheap: they aren't made to last. Over time, they can lose their shape, especially when exposed to heat. And once your cutting board is warped, it's time to get a new one, as you're not going to want to chop on a lopsided surface.

There are plenty of other considerations to make when shopping for a chopping board, including durability and weight, as well as materials such as silicone, bamboo and glass… It may also be linked to an increase in cancerous cells, and problems with the cardiovascular system. Scary stuff! What’s more, the retention of bacteria isn’t really the problem. The biggest hygiene risk in any kitchen comes from cross-contamination between different types of food, such as raw meat, fish and dough. It hardly matters the material on which you prepare these foodstuffs, as long as you use different surfaces for each food type – and keep them clean. What are the pros and cons of other materials? Cutting boards, or chopping boards, come in various widths and sizes. Some people have a large chopping board that remains on the work surface at all times, others prefer a smaller one which can be stored in a cupboard after use.

Pros: The main selling points of plastic cutting boards are that they’re lightweight, sanitizing them is easy—most are dishwasher-safe, though very hot temps could result in warping—and they’re cheaper than most wood and rubber boards. Plastic is also a less absorbent material than wood (and about the same as rubber), according to Morocco, which means they won’t harbor bacteria so easily. They’re also harder than wood, and less porous, so they are more resistant to bacteria and won’t scar as easily as your wood boards do. They’re not considered non-porous though, so if you still need to be very careful not to cross-contaminate and to wash it well after use. For example, a board claiming to be made from eco-friendly bamboo is very likely to contain formaldehyde! And that fancy antibacterial board you’ve got your eye on may contain harsh chemicals. It’s made from Hi-Soft, a synthetic rubber, that gets pressed by fabric to give it the ultra-soft texture that’s so desirable. End-grain cutting boards (where the cut end of the wood is the surface of the board) have better antibacterial properties than edge-grain boards. They are also better for keeping your knives sharp and have a longer lifespan. Wood Type

However, if your cutting board is deeply scratched, it is more likely to leach chemicals. If this sounds like your everyday cutting board, it might be time to go shopping! It’s also hard on your knives. You don’t want to be replacing knives on a regular basis, so anything you can do to protect them is worth the investment. Stone and glass are also very heavy, and cannot be moved easily. And if you do happen to drop them, they may shatter and cause some serious damage! And what about bacteria—should we worry about contamination of our chopping boards? This is why many people tend to assume that plastic boards are safer, as they appear to be easier to keep clean. However, this is not always correct! Another benefit to being non-porous is that the board won’t absorb liquids, making it more resistant to stains and smells. There’s nothing worse than a smelling, dingy-looking cutting board.If you get frustrated by fruit and vegetable peelings getting in the way while you chop, this compact board is an ideal solution, especially on a budget. Featuring two detachable trays that sit on each side of the chopping board, the Chop and Swipe lets you easily separate your peel and chopped food, leaving you with more space on the main board to continue prepping. We’re sure there aren’t many of you reading this who don’t have a cutting board in your kitchen, but have you ever wondered if it might be time for an upgrade? Made with organic bamboo, this reversible board will meet all your kitchen food prep requirements.
