4 Things to Look For In a Cutting Board
Dull blades, clunky clean-up, bulky storage, questionable shelf-life. No thanks! From chopping fruit at breakfast to prepping vegetables at dinnertime, your cutting board is one of the most used tools in your kitchen but in too many homes, it’s an inconvenient mess.
The right cutting board works with your kitchen, making prep (and clean-up) easier without compromise. When it comes to looking for your next cutting board, here are the four essential elements you need to look for when shopping for a cutting board:
1. Plant-Based
Your cutting board should be the last thing you are worried about. Look for cutting boards made from plant-based materials, like The MK Free Board. A mix of clay and 100% USDA certified biobased biopolymers, this innovative new material doesn't leave behind permanent microplastics and contains no PFAS.
2. Non-Porous, Dishwasher-Safe and Hygenic
Raw meat and fish have no place on a wood cutting board, a porous surface. The MK Free Board’s material is non-porous, which means it can be fully sanitized and dishwasher-safe. Cleaner, healthier and easier to care for: a win, win, win.
3. Knife-Friendly Surface
Believe it or not, you want a little grip to your board, providing just the right friction to keep your blade and board in place. Glass or overly hard plastic boards dull blades quickly and sometimes cause your blade to slip underneath your hand. Ouch! The MK Free Board’s unique composite material has a textured surface and just the right give to protect blades and fingers.
4. Lightweight, Slim and Sturdy
When looking for a cutting board, you want something slender and light enough to easily maneuver and store throughout your kitchen but sturdy enough to stand up to every day use. The MK Free Board won’t warp, crack or take up too much space. It even has a hanging hole for easy storage.
