The Cutting Board Of Directors
Choose A Great Cutting Board
See any cooking show on TV, and the cook in front of the camera is potentially utilizing some sort of wooden cutting board. It might appear from the amount of high profile celebrity cooks utilizing such cutting boards that the best cutting boards are made of wood, which has sparked many a budding chef to venture out in search of the top wooden cutting boards for the money.
While it is absolutely correct that a number of of the best cutting boards on the market–John Boos included–use wood as the primary substance, choosing the finest possible cutting board for your employment constitutes a tiny bit more initiative than that. One thing you must consider is whether you’ll be using the cutting board in a home style kitchen or for more demanding commercial usage. You must also look at the reliability department when making a choice for a cutting board. Is it dependable and safe? Will it last a long time relative to usage?
Wood is resilient and durable, and quality wood cutting boards are also self-sealing when it comes to minor cuts. Basically meaning the cut marks will eventually disappear. From a suitability and hygienic standpoint, having a self-sealing cutting board is important because of bacteria which can accumulate in the cuts on the board. This is often a problem with cutting boards made out of plastic, which may harbor bacteria more readily than wooden cutting boards will.
When considering a cutting board, delivering safe service is another very important factor, as we mentioned before. For example, you want to know that your cutting board won’t slip on the counter while you’re tying to use it. This could cause messy spills and nasty accidents as you can imagine. For the identical reason, you want the surface of the cutting board to be something that doesn’t allow your knife to slip. A feature that only the best overall cutting boards on the market can provide.
When considering longevity, it is very important to make sure the cutting board you choose can withstand being repeatedly washed, as it will be if you are going to use it. Since your cutting board must be clean at all times, it will be subjected to some fairly harsh chemicals. It is important to note that certain wooden cutting boards can be prone to streaking and even damage by chemical cleaning compounds, so you may want to keep that in mind when doing your shopping.
Glass, steal or marble cutting boards, which are also commonly purchased, will make it easier to prevent bacteria build up compared to wood. But then again, these kinds of hard surfaces can have a tendency to dull your knife blades.
If you are looking for the absolute best value and quality in cutting boards, the John Boos line is more than worth a look. The company produces the best quality cutting boards preferred by Chefs world-wide, partly because they are resistant to bacteria and scoring damage. A John Boos block, will be exactly what you’re looking for if quality is your highest priority. No matter which bran you choose, just do your homework.
