Chopping & Serving Boards

The kitchen is the heart of the home, a place where culinary magic happens. To make everyday cooking a joy, not a chore, you need the right tools. High-quality cutting boards are among the most important. You'll need them for chopping vegetables for a salad, slicing meat, preparing raw ingredients, or cutting bread. A good board ensures comfort, safety, and hygiene, and also takes care of your knives. High-quality or professional cutting boards are accessories that will last for years, and they're definitely worth investing in. We offer a wide selection of boards, including modern design cutting boards, kitchen boards made from various materials, and cutting boards in diverse shapes.

The range of boards available at FormAdore guarantees that you'll definitely find something for yourself among these beauties. So, let's take a closer look at what to pay attention to when choosing high-quality cutting boards.

Hygiene in the kitchen is paramount. So, how do you care for wooden kitchen boards to ensure they serve you for many years? Regardless of whether you have glass cutting boards, stone cutting boards, acacia wood boards, plastic, or wooden ones, regular washing is key.

• After each use, thoroughly wash the board with warm water and dish soap.

• This applies especially to meat cutting boards.

• Rinse the board's surface and, most importantly, dry it thoroughly. Moisture encourages bacteria.

Caring for bread cutting boards or various wooden boards is usually simpler than for those used for meat or vegetables, but it's still crucial for their durability and hygiene. After each use, the most important thing is to thoroughly remove all crumbs – even from special cutting boards with grooves – preferably by shaking them off or using a special brush or crumb sweeper. Then, it's worth washing the surface with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Remember to avoid prolonged soaking, especially for acacia wood boards or wooden and bamboo models, which can warp. It's also crucial to thoroughly dry the board after washing, ideally by standing it upright to ensure air circulation.

A wooden or bamboo kitchen board may require occasional oiling with food-safe oil.

Match the board to the food you're cutting. Does the color of the cutting board matter?

Wondering if the color of your cutting board matters? Absolutely! In professional kitchens, where professional boards are used, a color-coding system is employed to prevent cross-contamination. While you don't have to be as strict at home, it's worth taking inspiration. Having several boards marked with different colors significantly increases hygiene, especially when chopping vegetables, preparing raw ingredients, or slicing meat.

An example of a color division for boards you can adopt:

• Green: dedicated boards for chopping vegetables

• Red: ideal for slicing meat

• Blue: great for fish and seafood

• White: boards for cutting bread, dairy, and cooked foods

Choosing the ideal board depends on your individual needs and culinary habits. Consider a few key aspects that will influence your decision:

• Material: You have various options: wood (including very popular acacia wood boards), bamboo, or perhaps practical plastic? Read our guide and get to know different kitchen boards to choose the best material for you.

• Size: Do you need a small board for minor tasks, or a large one that can accommodate everything? In our extensive selection of boards, you'll find various sizes to suit every kitchen, as well as serving boards and board sets.

• Thickness: Thicker solid boards are usually more stable.

• Functionality: Will cutting boards with grooves (great for collecting juices!), non-slip feet, or perhaps cutting boards with handles be useful to you? Look for a highly functional cutting board.

• Appearance: modern design cutting boards make a beautiful addition to any kitchen. Elegant-looking cutting boards will work perfectly in classic kitchens, while natural-looking cutting boards will be a beautiful addition to rustic or modern farmhouse style kitchens. Stone cutting boards will complement the minimalist kitchen aesthetic.

Remember that boards are an investment for years, so choose high-quality cutting boards to ensure they serve you faithfully.

It's hard to imagine a fully functional kitchen without a solid board. It's where all the magic of culinary preparations happens! A sturdy board is an absolute must – it provides not only comfort but, most importantly, hygiene. What's more, it protects your knives!
