Sturdy (and gorgeous!) cutting boards for every kitchen

You don’t have to be a Food Network star to cultivate a kitchen of fabulous, high-quality products. Every home chef needs the right tools at their disposal – and cutting boards are no exception. Cultivating a collection of cutting boards that meet high standards of beauty and function will make your time in the kitchen that much more fun. Whether you’re making a cheese or charcuterie spread for game night, slicing limes for cocktails, filet-ing savory proteins for a stir fry, or chopping veggies for a weeknight salad, this cutting board round-up will surely add professional vibes to your cooking routine. 

These stunners by Thirteen Chefs are carved from a single piece of natural olive wood, featuring an exotic burl grain for a unique, elevated look. Use them for smaller chopping jobs, to serve up a cheese or charcuterie spread, or simply rest them on your counter for display. These boards are also food safe – no lacquer, varnish, or other urethane coatings were used in production. Note: these are not dishwasher safe, and should be cleaned by hand.

Made from polypropylene, a high-quality, BPA-free multi-functional material made to withstand high temps and rugged use, these cutting boards are every home cook’s dream. They’re commercial-grade, so you can slice, dice, and chop on the regular without worrying about warping. These boards also have raised rubber grips, so they stay put on your counter and tabletop for max stability during food prep. Previous reviewers loved their sturdiness and ability to fit easily into the dishwasher and sink.
Wide enough for a personal pizza, charcuterie spread, or birthday cake, this beautiful board is crafted from acacia, a tropical hardwood with A+ durability and strength. Because it’s naturally resistant against germs and moisture, it’s ideal for kitchen use. Reviewers report that this serving board is very sturdy without feeling overly heavy, and that they love the look of the pattern made with the ¾-inch strips of acacia. Note that this serving board is not for use with dishwashers – otherwise it could warp and crack. For best results, hand wash with gentle soap and water.
Also made from polypropylene (a high-quality, BPA-free multi-functional material made to withstand high temps and rugged use) this cutting board is designed by chefs and made for frequent and repetitive use. This board is on the large side, so perfect for preparing a bigger meal, and dishwasher-safe. Previous reviewers report it’s durable, stands up to frequent use, and is a great value.
Restore and protect your wooden cutting boards with this gentle mineral oil that’s colorless, odorless, tasteless, and gluten-free. To prevent cracking and drying, wash or clean the cutting board surface to remove any debris. Then, simply apply enough mineral oil to coat the surface and moisturize. Repeat every other week for happily hydrated boards!

From festive spreads to food prep to kitchen decor – these well-made, handsome cutting boards do it all. Ditch your been-there-done-that boards with cracks and stains and treat yourself to an upgrade with these professional-grade additions. Make a statement at your next gathering with the Tramanto Olive Oil Wood Cheese Boards (all the heart eyes for these beauties with their striking grain), or add ease to your weekday meal prep routine with the Non-Slip Plastic Cutting Board Set by Thirteen Chefs, which stands up to regular, repeated use.
