KitchenCraft Extra Large Chopping Board, Non Toxic Plastic, White, 44 x 30 cm

Product Information

A chopping board, or cutting board, is an essential kitchen tool that's used to make all of your cutting, slicing and dicing jobs easy and mess-free. With so many different types, shapes and sizes to choose from, it can be difficult to know which one will be right for your needs. Before you buy one, consider these factors: 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. We offer our customers an excellent delivery service including next day delivery, specified delivery dates and economy deliveries. Material. If you tend to cut a lot of meat, a plastic board is more hygienic as it won't absorb juices and breed bacteria. Wooden is best for bread, veggies, cheese and fruit.

End grain chopping boards are the most durable and hide knife marks easily while the patterns are unique and unpredictable. Surface area. Consider the size of food you will be cutting on the board and make sure it comfortably fits on the board you have chosen and doesn't hang over the edge. If you frequently cut large items of food, buy a chopping board with a wide surface area to accommodate them. We have plenty of large chopping boards up to 50cm in length for slicing meat, bread, fish and more including Joseph Joseph Index Chopping Board set in Graphite. Food safety and cross-contamination Technically, a chopping board is reserved for cutting food up in the kitchen while a serving board, or serving tray, is the platter that you will serve the sliced food on and bring to the dining room. 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

Finding a large chopping board

The finish on our chopping boards is a “Machined” finish. Smooth to the touch but sporting visible texture, this machined finish helps to increase the grip on the surface of the chopping board, reducing the likelihood that you will slip while using it. I am so happy that I found this. Everything else is too fancy or pricey. I tried a stove cover but my stove is small so that didn't make a lot of room & that wouldn't break my small budget. I just needed a very sturdy & basic board to give me more room. The entire Joseph Joseph team share their founders’ enthusiasm for innovation and are passionate about bringing problem-solving solutions to as many households as possible. And that’s especially true with the Joseph Joseph chopping board set. 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. Serve up your Sunday roast like a true pro

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. The durability of your board will depend on the quality and how well you care for it. Wooden chopping boards tend to be more durable and can last anywhere between 4-7 years. Plastic boards can last between 1-5 years. If your board has dents, scrapes and cuts, it's best to replace it as they can harbour bacteria. Recommended knives to use on your chopping board 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.

Your chopping board and knife will need to work in unison. A surface that's too hard can blunt or damage your knife. Softer surfaces are more ideal to maintain the sharpness of knives.

While all the cutting boards on this list are large, some of them are extremely big. When choosing the size best for you, first consider what you will be using it for. “If you are preparing whole fish or large cuts of meat, a large board will keep everything contained, which means you won’t need to break down larger things just to fit a smaller board,” Rubin says. “Ultimately, if you want to work with the freshest fish and meat, an oversized cutting board will give you a lot more room to do so comfortably and successfully.” Also, take into account the size of your countertop and where you plan to store the board (which might be front and center on your counter). You don’t want to invest in a cutting board that won’t fit in your kitchen. Wooden - A wooden chopping board can be made out of acacia wood, teak wood, oak wood and much more. They're easy on knives, heal naturally, have antibacterial properties and look beautiful. It's very easy to clean. I used hot soapy water and a rag. All the cooling oil and flour came right off. For some dried clumps of dough, I used a scrubber pad & it came right off. Because this is a JUMBO board, I did have to tilt it standing over the sink to wash it down. It's not going to fit in most dishwashers. However, because it's easy to clean, that's not a problem. I think that greasy & red sauces might be a problem if you let them sit.Be on the lookout for these extra features to make your chopping board even more suited to your needs. Glass - Glass kitchen boards are non-porous and won't absorb liquids. They're also lightweight, chip-proof and look elegant. This fits perfectly across my double sink so that I have all this room! I do a lot of baking & need room for bowls, rolling out & kneading dough, etc. My kitchen is TINY & I've had to go as far as using the dining table (which is in my *carpeted* living room/dining area).

Think about the types of food you will prepare on the cutting board. While wood is versatile and will last longer (and is antimicrobial, in some cases), it can also be absorptive and transfer flavors from food to food, which hi-soft and plastic won’t do. Plastic is usually dishwasher-safe, while other materials are not. 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. If you don't use this constantly, as I do, I think that sliding it overhead of your cupboards would work. I will do that if I have a baking lull. The board will fit there. It would also fit on top of my fridge but I am using that already. Here at Plastic Chopping Boards, we make our chopping boards from APLAS plastic. Manufactured in Britain, our APLAS plastic chopping boards use industrial-grade polyethylene. Flat, rigid, hardwearing, and food-safe, APLAS chopping boards are perfect for sharp blades and tough ingredients and will outlast similar-looking LDPE Boards.

It's NOT just a cutting board because it's perfect for anyone with a tiny kitchen and/or just needs more counter space. Plastic - Plastic chopping boards are affordable, dishwasher-safe and do not absorb any juices or water. I don't sit this anywhere near my stove/oven & I won't be using it to hold hot baking pans. 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! If a Sunday roast is sacred in your house, you don’t want your presentation to fall at the final hurdle! That’s where you need the ideal chopping board that’s perfectly designed to slice your roasted meat to perfection. 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.
