What type of chopping board is best?
On the UK market, there is a diverse array of chopping boards available, including wooden, plastic, metal, glass, and marble options. Among these choices, marble chopping boards emerge as the superior selection.
While wood chopping boards offer organic appeal, they are prone to staining, scratching, and require frequent replacement due to splitting, cracking, or staining. Additionally, they cannot be washed in a dishwasher. Glass chopping boards are easy to clean but are fragile and can appear inexpensive. Metal boards are suitable primarily for chopping food and are susceptible to denting when used for pounding meat. Plastic chopping boards are deemed the least favourable due to the risk of leaching harmful microplastics into food. Conversely, a stone cutter board offers easy cleaning, resistance to scratching and staining, and they are dishwasher safe, making them a preferred choice that poses no health hazards.
When you purchase granite cutting board for yourself, or as a gift, you have to think of it as an investment for a lifetime. A granite cutting board saves you the shop time and countless pounds which you would have otherwise spent on purchasing inferior chopping board sets.

What are the most hygienic chopping boards?
Undoubtedly, a stone chopper board stands as the epitome of hygiene among available materials. It distinguishes itself as the sole work surface, surpassing glass, wood, metal, or plastic counterparts, boasting 100% stain and scratch proof qualities. A mere rinse under the tap effortlessly removes all accumulated grime, underscoring its unparalleled cleanliness. In contrast, scratched surfaces, like a wood chopping board set, necessitate extensive scrubbing to dislodge embedded dirt particles from the crevices.
Quartz cutting boards excel in managing stubborn stains, effortlessly combating old stains that would otherwise mar the appearance of wooden counterparts permanently. Plastic or glass surfaces may resist staining initially, yet they tend to adhere to dried grime, complicating cleaning procedures. Conversely, stone surfaces guarantee immediate removal of any residue, ensuring swift and thorough sanitation.

What is the healthiest cutting board material?
A marble and wooden chopping board stands out as the healthiest options available in the UK market. These boards are primarily composed of natural, organic materials, devoid of the synthetic substances that may be present in cutting boards plastic or similar materials used for kitchen chopper boards.
However, while initially appealing, wooden cutting boards present potential drawbacks with prolonged use. They are susceptible to splitting, scratching, and accumulating damage, which can compromise their cleanliness. Difficulty in cleaning a wooden chopping block can lead to the harbouring of harmful bacteria and the development of mould over time.
For optimal hygiene and longevity, we recommend stone chopping boards as the superior choice, given their durability and resistance to damage.
Like a wooden chopping board set, chopping board glass also offer a suitable option with minimal health risks. However, it’s crucial to note that transparent, uncoloured chopping boards glass are preferable. Any addition of synthetic paint or colouring to glass kitchen boards may introduce unnecessary substances that could pose health concerns.
Do granite cutting boards dull knives?
It’s important to acknowledge that any robust work surface, whether granite, steel, glass, or ceramic chopping board, carries the inherent risk of dulling knives.
This compromise is often unavoidable when opting for durability. However, it’s preferable to occasionally sharpen knives than to incur the frequent replacement necessitated by softer surfaces such as plastic or wooden chopping boards set. Typically, these softer options require complete replacement every 2-3 years, sometimes even sooner, depending on usage frequency, resulting in financial loss over time.
In contrast, with harder surfaces, knife sharpening is only required every few months, offering a more cost-effective and sustainable solution.
Why do I need a stone cutting board if I already own a quartz kitchen worktop?
Quartz worktop owners can enhance their kitchen utility with the addition of a granite chopping board, despite the inherent durability of their stone worktops.
Cutting boards for kitchen serve multiple practical purposes. Firstly, it facilitates maintaining cleanliness and organisation on the worktop surface, providing an efficient platform for food preparation that can be easily cleaned with a simple wash. While you might be tempted by cutting your food directly on the quartz kitchen worktop, since it can withstand scratches, it’s probably easier to do that on a kitchen cutting board product that suits your worktops.
Secondly, the versatility of a stone chopping board allows for diverse applications beyond food preparation. It can function as an extension of the worktop during special occasions, such as carving meat for a family dinner, offering both practicality and elegance.
It can be repurposed as a sophisticated cheese board, immune to damage from sharp utensils. Moreover, the chopping board doubles as a decorative element within the home, leveraging its substantial and sturdy nature to extend the aesthetic and durability of kitchen worktops to other areas of the household.
By owning chopping boards marble, in the long run, you’re also saving money. A great quality of chopping boards marble is that they last a lifetime. These solid stone products are well-nigh indestructible. You can your cut veg on such surface, beat chicken fillets, wash them in a dishwasher, and they won’t show any sign of defects or wear and tear. This cannot be said for a chopping wood board or a chopping board glass.
These tend to be fragile and brittle, and any use of force is unrecommended. A plastic chopping board usually scratch so deeply that the boards must be replaced every other year. Likewise, a wood chopping board can break, develop mould and splinter when washed too frequently, meanwhile stainless steel chopping boards will most certainly scratch on the kitchen counters, making them appear worn and shabby after merely a couple of uses.
There’s no doubt that granite chopping desks are the best long-term investment, even for owners of stone kitchen worktops, who are well aware of stone attributes.
Is marble suitable for a chopping board?
Use and production of a natural stone marble chopping board is not recommended. This is the only natural stone that we wouldn’t advise to transform into a chopping desk. This is solely due to marble’s severe proneness to scratching and chipping on account of the soft composition. Granite and quartzite stones are incredibly hard-wearing and durable – while marble is much softer. A couple of slices and chops may carve big fissures into the surface, like on limestone. Very much in likeness to cutting on a bamboo chopping board for example.
However, we still name our products ‘marble chopping boards’ because marble-lookalike varieties still exist among our quartz range.
The quartz marble-lookalike ranges are a fantastic solution. They contain the organic, visual qualities of marble, but are also strong and scratch-resistant. Most of our customers can’t tell the difference between genuine marble board and a quartz mimic.
Can you cut raw meat on a marble cutting board?
Certainly, marble chopping boards provide a safe surface for cutting raw meat. Our kitchen cutting boards are predominantly crafted from natural stone materials such as quartzite and granite. Unlike chopping boards plastic, these stone-based boards eliminate the risk of leaching harmful substances into food. Additionally, the durability of granite ensures that your kitchen chopping surfaces remain intact, preventing any residue from contaminating your food.
Marble quartz, in particular, excels in handling raw meat due to its robustness. Its indestructible nature allows for slicing thick cuts of steak and tenderising schnitzels without fear of deformation. Conversely, chopping boards wood or glass chopping board are susceptible to splitting or breaking when encountering hard cuts of meat or bone during preparation.
Is granite good for chopping board?
Indeed, granite stands out as an excellent material choice for kitchen chopping boards. As highlighted previously, this stone not only contributes to the upkeep of a hygienic and pristine culinary workspace but also exhibits remarkable resilience.
Its inherent durability renders it impervious to damage, as it remains resistant to scratching and chipping over time.
In contrast to chopping boards wooden or plastic alternatives, granite cutting boards for kitchen offer an assurance of longevity, ensuring that they endure for a lifetime of kitchen use.
