10 Best Cooking Boards
for June 2023

Whether you're a chef or a home cook, a cooking board is an essential tool in the kitchen. They are extremely versatile, and can be used for everything from preparing meals, to serving food, to serving drinks.

A cooking board is any flat, sturdy surface that's designed for cooking. They can be made of wood, ceramic, stone, metal, plastic, or glass, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some boards have a textured surface, while others are smooth. Some are large, while others are small.

In the Different Guide , we test cooking boards for performance, durability, and ease of use. We evaluate performance factors such as heat retention, heat distribution, and consistency, as well as durability factors such as scratch resistance, and how easy it is to clean. We also evaluate ease of use, including how easy it is to set up, clean, and store. Here are the best cooking boards to buy in 2022, according to testing and consumer reviews:

The chopping boards are reversible, making them useful for more than just food prep, and they have a solid, knife-friendly build that keeps them looking good longer.
