Whether you fancy yourself a home chef or are just getting started cooking more meals at home, it’s important to have the right tools at your disposal. Food prep is as much a part of cooking as the ingredients, cook time, and the actual cooking itself, so you want to be covered for all of the slicing, dicing, and cutting that you’ll do. We found five cutting boards that will not only make your prep work more enjoyable, they wash up like a dream, so your investment will last for many years to come.

Japanese Style Rubber Cutting Board 18x12

We love this rubber cutting board. It’s the perfect size for trimming meat, cutting veggies and fruit, and chopping herbs. The material is easier on knives than wood and washes up like a dream. This cutting board is also dishwasher safe, so if you don’t feel like hand washing them or you’ve been cutting raw meat, you can make sure it’s completely sanitized and ready for its next use.

Cut Proof Flexible Kitchen Cutting Board 15x10

Thirteen Chefs make a unique 15×10 cutting board with handle for cutting and slicing. We love the shape because it offers more surface area for wider items, but it’s still made with high-density polypropylene used in industrial kitchens. You won’t have to worry about bacteria or germs gathering, and the handle offers a great grip when discarding bones and other large items.

Mats are a great alternative to a bulky cutting board. They are less heavy but still offer all you need for food prep. These mats are colorful, dishwasher safe, and BPA-free. Mats also offer flexibility if you need to transfer food from the mat into a pot. The anti-slip material works great on countertops, so you can feel confident nothing is going to slide around while you chop.
