However, I did read somewhere that it is heat *resistant* up to 180F. Out of curiosity, I did set a hot loaf pan fresh out of the oven on it for a couple of minutes - with a wet towel under the pan. That pan didn't warp or damage the board but, again, I'm not going to make a practice of this! Face grain - This is the outside of the wood and is commonly used for surfaces as it holds the most beauty. Face grain chopping boards mark more easily and are not recommended for heavy cutting and chopping tasks.This depends on your purpose and type of food.

Plastic boards are non-absorbent, dishwasher-safe and budget-friendly. Bamboo boards are hard, durable and won't absorb water or juices.

However, wooden chopping boards are aesthetically beautiful and can easily double as cutting boards and cheese boards. They add a rustic charm to the table when using them to display bread, cheese, cold meats and other nibbles. Additional features to look out for when buying a chopping board

My apartment is less than 700 sq feet & none of my kitchen cabinets are big enough to hold this. The biggest pantry I have is in the bathroom & I'm not storing this there. I ended up sliding this behind a small bookcase that is right by my kitchen. I store extra pots, pans, etc there so this works. I will just make sure to wipe the bottom edge of the board down every time I use it. Is it easy to clean? Hygiene is paramount when using and maintaining chopping boards. While wooden cutting boards require board oil to maintain them, a plastic one can be put in the dishwasher. Edge grain - This refers to the side of the board. Edge grain chopping boards are tough and soak up less moisture, making the upkeep of these boards easier.

The general rule is that red is for raw meat, green for fruit and veg, white for cheese, bread and cooked foods, and blue for fish.

They're easy on knives, heal naturally, have antibacterial properties and look beautiful. Plus, the boards are also specially designed to be kind to your knives. Their surfaces may mark and show scratches over time, but this just means that your knife blades will suffer less damage and will maintain a sharper edge for longer. Bamboo - A bamboo chopping board offers many of the same qualities as a wooden board, yet it is harder than teak and will not absorb water or juices. Plastic - Plastic chopping boards are affordable, dishwasher-safe and do not absorb any juices or water. I placed this across my sinks and it was sturdy. It didn't bend or creak. I tested the strength by setting this over my sink and loading the board by balancing on it 2 flour & sugar canisters & a couple of big stew pots filled with about 4 gallons of water each. The board held up just fine. (To keep the board from possibly sliding around when I am kneading, I put a wet rag under both side edges.) I was slamming my dough down on this to knead it & it held up.
