Chopping Boards

What chopping boards does Myer sell?

Myer's chopping board range includes timber, bamboo, plastic and wood-fibre options, plus end-grain butcher's blocks, colour-coded sets, foldable boards and carving boards with juice grooves. They come in sizes from small prep boards to large bench savers, with a range of colours and finishes available.

Which chopping board material is best?

The best chopping board material depends on how you cook and clean up. Plastic is lightweight, non-porous and usually dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean for everyday prep. Timber and bamboo are sturdy, knife-friendly and attractive enough for serving, but usually need hand washing. Many kitchens keep both on hand for different tasks.

What size chopping board do I need?

It depends on your cooking. A small board suits quick jobs like slicing fruit, while a large board, around 35 cm and up, gives room for meal prep. Many people keep two or three sizes for different tasks.

How do I clean and care for a chopping board?

Wash plastic boards in warm soapy water or the dishwasher. Hand wash timber and bamboo with mild soap, dry them upright, and oil them occasionally to stop the wood drying out and cracking. Avoid soaking wooden boards or leaving them wet.

Why use colour-coded or separate chopping boards?

Using separate boards for raw and cooked food may help prevent cross-contamination. Colour-coded sets make this easy, with a different board for each food type.
