Selection of chopping block:

There are many kinds of chopping boards on the market, such as wood, bamboo, PE and so on. Traditional chopping boards mostly use logs as raw materials, such as pine, nanmu, birch, sandalwood, maple and banyan, among which maple and banyan are the best because of their hard wood. Pay attention to whether the thickness of the whole cutting board is consistent when selecting. Also depends on the annual rings. Generally, the annual rings are round with clear and delicate lines.

According to the frequency of use, purpose and environment. If the frequency of use is not high, then it is more appropriate to buy a bamboo chopping board, because it is durable and easy to take care of. If you are a heavy cooking enthusiast, it is more appropriate to buy a wooden chopping board or a Japanese synthetic rubber chopping board, which can be used for many years if properly maintained.
