A chopping board is an essential kitchen tool! It keeps your worktop clean, preserves the cutting edge of your knives and allows you to cut your food comfortably. There are many standards to be respected in the professional environment, which is why some materials are more suitable than others. For example, a wooden cutting board is not always suitable for use in a professional kitchen. The most commonly used are plastic cutting boards, especially those made of polyethylene.
A polyethylene cutting board
A board made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is perfect for professional use. In fact, it has a number of features that are essential for a professional cutting board! It's a hygienic material that doesn't let water penetrate, it resists the acidity of the food being cut and, as it's a chemically inert plastic, it doesn't retain the odor of food.
What's more, its smooth surface preserves the blade of your professional kitchen knives. This plastic board is rigid for long-term durability and contains no toxic products: it's perfectly suited to food use!
You can also select a non-slip cutting board for safe use! This is a very practical feature, as it allows you to stick to the work surface while preventing your food from slipping when cutting. Choose a Japanese cutting board with a non-slip grip!
It's easy to clean, and dishwasher-safe, so you'll save a lot of time! To give your professional cutting board a shine, you can use a scraper to remove small stains and yellowing caused by use.
A large-format cutting board
To work comfortably, the size of your cutting board needs to be taken into account! A large-format chopping board is ideal for working on large pieces such as pieces of meat or fish, as well as smaller ones like tomatoes or carrots. This will also depend on the professional kitchen you're working in, the space available, the size of the work surfaces, etc.
Cutting boards can also be fitted with a juice pocket and gutters around the edges. As the name suggests, these allow you to collect the liquids from your food, so as to avoid dirtying your work surface, or to reuse them in a sauce, for example, for a roast. This is a criterion that can be of great importance to some professional cooks!
Professional cutting boards in different colors
Finally, there are many different colored cutting boards: yellow, green, red, anything goes! This makes it possible to match a board of a particular color to a particular use, for example, depending on the food. Indeed, to avoid any risk of cross-contamination, a raw chicken fillet should not be cut in the same place as a vegetable intended to be eaten raw.
That's why it's so important to respect a color code for the use of your cutting boards, to reinforce the hygiene of your professional kitchen and to cook quality dishes for your customers.
As explained above, there are many features to choose from when choosing a professional cutting board! The most important is to choose a high-quality polyethylene board to last you longer and keep you comfortable while you work.
