Cutting board - Definition and Overview

A cutting board is a kitchen utensil (see list of food preparation utensils), used as a surface on which to cut or slice things. Cutting boards are often made of wood or plastic.

Sanitation with cutting boards is delicate, because bacteria can get into the grooves produced by cutting. For this reason, it is often advised to cut raw meat on separate cutting boards from cooked meat or vegetables.
