Best Cutting Boards for Your Kitchen

A chef’s knife may play the starring role in dinner prep, but your cutting board certainly deserves a nod for best supporting actor. It’s easy to write off these utilitarian boards as interchangeable, but the truth is, some are much better than others.

I know this to be true from culinary school, the time I’ve spent in professional kitchens, and more recently from time spent in my own kitchen, where I assessed six cutting boards of varying materials to see which were the best to use, clean, and maintain.
