Hardwoods like maple, walnut, and cherry are commonly used for cutting boards because they are durable, food safe, and resistant to deep knife marks.

An end grain cutting board is constructed so the wood fibers face upward. This design helps absorb knife impact, making it gentler on knives and more resistant to wear.

Wash your cutting board with warm water and mild soap. Dry it immediately and avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher.

To keep your board in great condition, apply food‑grade mineral oil about once a month or whenever the wood looks dry.

Many cooks prefer wooden cutting boards because they are durable, naturally antimicrobial, and easier on knife edges compared to plastic boards.
