First of all, it is advisable to decide which boards you need from.

Wooden pieces, the "classic of the genre," are used mainly for cutting dry products, such as bread. They should not cut fish or meat, because the tree has the ability to absorb odors and moisture. A fashionable novelty - boards made of ceramics and natural stone - it is better to use only for work with the test, and not for cutting.

The second most important point is the number of boards in the set. They can be 2-3, or maybe 10. The optimal option for the average family is the purchase of a set of cutting boards in the amount of 4 pieces, which usually comes complete with a stand. The latter is very convenient for compact storage. For example, a set of cutting boards on a stand of the popular firm "Gipfel" has a non-slip base and practical dividers-"tabs" that make it easy to extract the board necessary for cutting a product.

A set of flexible cutting boards makes it easy to pour the sliced ​​vegetables into a pan, and if necessary even use it as a watering can. Folding boards take up little space and look quite original.
