The other type of foldable cutting board is more sturdy and can only be folded on the two sides of the board. It is a rectangle on one side but has a handle for holding it on one of the ends of the cutting board.

Most people are familiar with a traditional cutting board, but some may be unaware of the folding cutting board and the perks it has to offer. Where big traditional cutting boards make it nearly impossible to transfer prepped food without spilling or making a mess, foldable cutting boards make it an extremely easy process. Their smaller sizes also makes handling and transferring food much easier as well, as large and bulky cutting boards can be hard to maneuver. Plastic MaterialBefore you buy a foldable cutting board there are a few characteristics you will want to consider to make the best choice for you and your personal cooking.

Pros: Even cheap polypropylene boards are dishwasher-safe and can withstand rigorous abuse from chemicals, hence their popularity in pro kitchens. They’re lightweight and easy to manufacture in different colours, so you can buy a colour-coded set to avoid cross-contamination. Each of the four polypropylene boards has a soft-grip tab on its edge that’s illustrated with a specific ingredient to reduce the risk of cross-contamination – the different colouring of each board helps in this regard, too – and they come stored in a sturdy, space-saving holder. Like traditional cutting boards, they also range in size and material. Perks Of A Foldable Cutting Board Though plastic is not always a great material for some things, when it comes to your cutting boards plastic is the superior material.Like a lot of plastic chopping boards, sharp knife marks do start to show after a while, but it’s still pretty durable for the price and you can throw it in the dishwasher when you have finished with it for a thorough, hygienic clean. The last thing you want to consider before purchasing a foldable cutting board is how many you want to buy. If you get frustrated by fruit and vegetable peelings getting in the way while you chop, this compact board is an ideal solution, especially on a budget. Featuring two detachable trays that sit on each side of the chopping board, the Chop and Swipe lets you easily separate your peel and chopped food, leaving you with more space on the main board to continue prepping. It has a knife-friendly surface so you can be confident using it with non-slip feet for an added convenience. The only niggle we had is that it marked easily when using heavy-duty knives. If you’re like us though, you’ll have a different chopping board for different tasks and this one is ideal for general everyday use. If you’re looking for a sturdy breadboard, this might not be the one for you, however.

Incidentally, OXO (utensils) isn’t the same company as Oxo (beefy cubes), but they both have the rights to the original brand name. Thank you, Wikipedia, for that nugget of information. There are plenty of other considerations to make when shopping for a chopping board, including durability and weight, as well as materials such as silicone, bamboo and glass… You may have a specific color you have used to decorate your kitchen, and with foldable cutting boards, you can complement your kitchen with a matching foldable cutting board. The one downfall to this type of foldable cutting board is its inability to fold in more ways than one. Size

Want to slice n' dice without ruining your knives? The best chopping boards are here to keep them sharp

Cutting boards are one of those kitchen tools that you don’t realize are necessary until you can’t find one or your favorite one gets ruined. That’s not to say a wooden chopping board will be self-cleaning – you’ll still have to wash it. However, it possesses anti-microbial properties that make it somewhat more resistant to bacteria than plastic. So I should buy a wooden board, then? The biggest perk of a foldable cutting board is its ability to easily transfer items from the board to either a skillet, pan, bowl, or other cooking dishes. Quite frankly, without cutting boards, cooking is nearly impossible as a majority of the prep work happens on your counter. These types of foldable cutting boards are extremely thin and extremely lightweight as they do not have very much material that makes them up.

Durable– This chopping board is designed to withstand daily use in your kitchen with a knife-friendly cutting surface.

Each board also includes a feature designed especially for that ingredient. The meat board has a moat to stop juices spilling over the edge of the board; the fish board has grippers; the cooked food board is equipped with crumb catchers. All four have rubberised feet on both sides, so they’re fully reversible and won’t slip. What’s more, the retention of bacteria isn’t really the problem. The biggest hygiene risk in any kitchen comes from cross-contamination between different types of food, such as raw meat, fish and dough. It hardly matters the material on which you prepare these foodstuffs, as long as you use different surfaces for each food type – and keep them clean. What are the pros and cons of other materials? One is a foldable cutting board that is malleable and can be folded in any direction as it is extremely thin and easily formed. This clever board has a clever folding design that allows you to cut on flat surfaces such as your kitchen worktop then safely pour your ingredients straight into your pan to cook.
