One of the great workhorses of my kitchen is my cutting board. If I had make a list of the most important gadgets in my kitchen, my cutting board would top the list. I use it more than any other piece of equipment in the kitchen.

Choosing the right cutting board is important. I need something sturdy that doesn’t slide around while I am chopping, dicing, and mincing. It’s important that the board doesn’t move while I’m working because I don’t want to cut myself. Two of the most important safety rules of knife skills are to keep your knives sharp and use cutting boards that don’t slide while you are working.

My favorite cutting board is made by John Boos. These cutting boards are sturdy, beautiful, and with proper care, last for years. They are a little more expensive but I consider it an investment. The Boos boards come in a variety of striking woods and great sizes. I use my Boos board every day, all day long. It’s in constant use so it lives on my island where I prep food. It never gets put in a drawer or stored away.

Check out these great cutting boards!

Enjoy.
