Chopping Board FAQ – New Zealand
Why do I need a good chopping board?
A sturdy chopping board protects your benchtop, keeps your knives sharp, and gives you a safe surface to prepare food. It’s one of those simple tools that makes cooking smoother and tidier.
How long should a chopping board last?
With regular cleaning and care, a quality wooden or bamboo board can last for many years. If you notice deep cuts or stains that don’t come off, it’s a good sign it’s time for a replacement.
What’s the best material for chopping boards?
It depends on how you cook. Wooden and bamboo boards are gentle on knives and look great in any kitchen. Plastic or resin boards are lightweight, easy to clean, and ideal for everyday use or camping.
Can I use one board for everything?
It’s best to have at least two – one for raw meat and another for veggies or bread. This keeps your kitchen cleaner and helps prevent mixing raw and ready-to-eat foods.
Are wooden chopping boards safe to use?
Yes, when properly cleaned and dried. Wood naturally resists bacteria, and a quick oil treatment now and then keeps it sealed and smooth. Just avoid soaking it in water.
Can I put my chopping board in the dishwasher?
Plastic boards are fine for the dishwasher. Wooden boards, however, should be washed by hand with warm soapy water and dried upright to keep them from cracking or warping.
How do I stop my board from sliding while chopping?
Place a damp tea towel or non-slip mat under your board. It’s a simple trick that keeps it steady and makes chopping safer.
How can I keep my wooden board looking new?
Give it a quick oil treatment with food-grade mineral oil every few weeks. It helps protect the surface, prevents cracking, and keeps your board looking beautiful for years.
