Suggest a large chopping board

v638sg7k1a92bx

I’m looking for a large chopping board to replace my previous one that I lost moving house. Can’t seem to find one big enough. Can anyone suggest a good quality large wooden chopping board?

IKEA have various sizes, we've been happy with ours.

If you can find a rubber wood, butchers block style one ... They're really hard wood ,last forever ..

I bought a very large one, a slab of mahogany, in a department store when I first got married. (decades ago)
I still have it, somewhat stained but still in active service.

It is 45 x 30 cms, and an inch thick; corners a little rounded.

If I needed one again, I'd try to find a seller of woodwork materials that would supply a similar chunk of hardwood.

Plastic chopping board is easier to clean properly

Ikea good for large wooden boards; TK Maxx especially good for range of large heavy good quality boards. I have both. The Ikea one is huge but light - use it for serving multiple pizzas. The TK Maxx one sits on kitchen island as a permanent fixture, too heavy to move on & off.

I got mine in Habitat (yes, that long ago, massive heavy thing, will outlive me.


If you have a bit of cash to spend on this there are loads of guys making cutting boards in Ireland, they seem to be at every craft and design fair. For sure they'd have one/do you one for a specific size.

Lots of differing views on that, get 10 experts and you'll probably get 11 answers.

Plastic cutting boards, Cliver found, are easier to sanitize. But cutting on them also leaves lots of grooves where bacteria can hide. Wood is tougher to sanitize, but it’s also (often) tougher in general – you won’t find as many deep scratches in the surface.
In addition, researchers have discovered that the type of wood your cutting board is made from also makes a difference.

Gloomtastic!

Venturing a little close to the dreaded food safety advice. Careful now!

That is debatable!

I despise using a plastic chopping board.

OP, if you can get an end grain board, I find them much better.
They don't warp, wear better and are kinder on your knives.
TKMax/Homesense sometimes have nice chopping boards.

I like these ones as they have a rim on three sides.
