All About Our Edge Grain Cutting Boards
When it comes to selecting the perfect cutting board for your kitchen, the choices can be overwhelming. Wood cutting boards and butcher blocks are popular options, each offering unique characteristics. Among them, edge grain cutting boards stand out as a top choice, combining durability, aesthetics, and functionality. In this article, we will explore the distinct advantages of edge grain cutting boards over other types, shedding light on why they have become a favorite among home cooks and professional chefs alike.
Watch Our Cutting Board Building Process
Long-Term Durability and Resilience
Edge grain cutting boards are crafted by arranging wood strips so that the edges of the strips form the cutting surface. This construction style imparts remarkable durability to the board. Unlike end grain boards, where the fibers are exposed and more susceptible to damage, edge grain boards provide a robust surface that can withstand the rigors of daily chopping and slicing. This resilience ensures a longer lifespan for the cutting board, making it a wise and sustainable investment for your kitchen.
Knife-Friendly Surface
One of the key advantages of edge grain cutting boards is their knife-friendly nature. The straight orientation of the wood fibers minimizes the impact on the knife’s edge, reducing wear and tear over time. This not only preserves the sharpness of your knives but also makes the cutting process smoother and more efficient. Chefs appreciate the ease with which they can chop, dice, and slice without compromising the integrity of their kitchen tools.
Bringing Beauty to Your Kitchen
Beyond their functional benefits, edge grain cutting boards offer a visually appealing addition to any kitchen. The unique pattern created by the arrangement of wood strips gives these boards a distinctive look, making them an attractive centerpiece for food preparation. The warm and natural aesthetics of edge grain boards enhance the overall kitchen ambiance, seamlessly blending with various kitchen styles.
Protect Your Investment
Our board butter is a great way to keep your cutting board in great condition for years; and is also 100% food-safe.
Easy to Maintain
Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity of any cutting board. Edge grain boards are relatively easy to clean and maintain. Regular oiling with food-grade mineral oil helps nourish the wood and protect it from moisture, preventing cracks and warping. This low-maintenance aspect makes edge grain cutting boards a practical choice for busy kitchens where convenience is paramount.
