Chopping boards for every slice, dice and sizzle
From busy weekday dinners to weekend baking marathons, a good chopping board is the unsung hero of the kitchen. Whether you’re prepping veg, slicing bread or carving the Sunday roast, our chopping boards are designed to protect your surfaces, your knives and your flow. Choose from a wide range of materials, shapes and sizes to find the board that works with the way you cook.
Select chopping boards for your kitchen in different styles and sizes
Home cooks have many options when it comes to finding a chopping board for dicing vegetables, finely chopping herbs, cutting a steak, or butterflying fish or chicken for a Sunday roast. Besides protecting your knives and keeping your precious kitchen worktops free of unsightly knife marks, rustic wood cutting boards are eye-catching serving platters for cheese or charcuterie boards. Choose from rectangular bamboo chopping boards or go with a rectangular plastic cutting board with a handle that is great for handling raw fish or poultry.
How to choose the right chopping board
Selecting a cutting board isn’t just about function—it’s also about style and how it fits into your kitchen routine. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect one:
- Flexible plastic chopping boards. An anti-slip plastic board made of high-density polyethylene is a safer and easier-to-clean option for preparing any raw meat or fish. Dicing fresh, sushi-grade tuna for poke bowls or tuna tartare for a dinner party? Making the same dish for ten is easier with a bendable plastic board that makes placing food on dishes simple. And when you’re done, the plastic cutting board is dishwasher-safe.
- Bamboo chopping boards. A sustainably harvested bamboo cutting board is as easy on the eyes as it is on your knives. The warm expression of the easy-to-care-for, durable bamboo wood grain makes them highly suitable as stunning serving trays. While the weight provides a stable, non-slip base for cutting or chopping, you can select a board set that overhangs counters for extra stability. The easy-to-grip slanted edges make it a breeze to use both sides for meal prep. You can even select a bamboo board with juice grooves that will come in handy when cutting tomatoes or carving a roast.
- Wooden chopping boards. Pair beautiful colours and a rustic look with the high durability of the material used for your cutting board. High water resistance makes for quick drying, while the cut or scratch resistance surface makes them appealing as serving trays while being gentle on your knives. Fast drying means these ideal-for-heavy-use chopping boards will be back in action quickly.
- Butcher block. A butcher block is a heavy-duty, stylish option for both amateur and professional chefs. Larger and heavier than typical cutting boards, they provide a stable surface for serious chopping, slicing, and dicing tasks. Great for prepping large cuts of meat or multiple ingredients at once. Known for its durability and timeless appeal, a butcher block is an investment that pays off in functionality and aesthetics.
What size or shape should I choose?
Your board should fit both your kitchen and your cooking style. Smaller boards are great for compact kitchens or prepping a quick sandwich, while larger ones give you more space to chop, pile and push without spilling over.
Things to consider:
- Thicker boards tend to be more stable for tough cutting jobs
- Boards with grooves can catch meat juices or crumbs
- Lightweight styles are handy for carrying chopped ingredients straight to the pan
Some chopping boards are designed to hang or stand upright—perfect for air-drying and saving space on your worktop.
Are there any smart features to look out for?
Yes! Many of our boards go beyond the basics to add a little extra joy to your daily routine.
Look for:
- Reversible boards with two usable sides
- Built-in handles or grip-friendly edges
- Non-slip bases for added safety
- Boards that double as serving platters for a casual lunch or cosy night in
Whether you’re prepping a salad or slicing a crusty sourdough, the right chopping board helps everything feel smoother, safer and more satisfying. And when it’s done its job? It’s easy to wash, stack and get ready for whatever’s next.
Caring for your chopping board
While it’s recommended that all cutting boards are washed before use, cleaning up after every meal is simple. Bendable plastic boards are dishwasher-safe. Bamboo chopping boards or wooden chopping blocks dry fast on your drying rack after washing with warm soapy water. Any wooden chopping boards can be kept looking their best with the occasional application of non-toxic, food-neutral mineral oil.
