A Cutting Board: The Unsung Hero of the Kitchen

You could own the finest knife in existence, honed to razor-sharp perfection, but if you’re chopping away on some flimsy, wobbly piece of nonsense that skitters about the countertop like a drunken penguin on ice, then, frankly, you’re in for an absolute nightmare.

So, allow me to introduce you to the only cutting board you’ll ever need—a proper wooden board.

Size Matters—No More Postage Stamp Cooking

First things first, size matters. And I mean that quite sincerely.

None of this tiny, postcard-sized nonsense where you find yourself desperately chasing onions around the kitchen like a forlorn contestant on a game show.

No, no—what you need is space. At least 15 by 20 inches, something with enough room to actually chop, dice, and prepare food without feeling like you’re performing intricate surgery on a fruit fly.

My Go-To: The Pro-Teak Cutting Board

Ah, now let’s talk about my personal favourite—the Pro-Teak Cutting Board. And I tell you, this thing is built like a tank.

• 18 by 24 inches of pure, unshakable teak.

• A staggering 15 pounds—this thing stays put. 

• No grippy mat needed, no wobbling, no drama.

This, my friend, is a board for life—and I mean that quite literally.

A Final Thought

The greatest myth of them all—"Wooden boards are high maintenance!" Absolute rubbish! Caring for a wooden board is laughably simple. Wash it with hot, soapy water, dry it properly—don’t just abandon it in a puddle like some forgotten raft—and rub a bit of mineral oil on it once a month. That’s it! No cracking, no warping, no tragic disintegration into dust. It requires no more effort than caring for a good cast iron pan—and my word, it’s worth it..

Now then, shall we chop something glorious?
