Chopping boards are an everyday essential in any kitchen, helping keep meal prep safe, clean, and organised. Whether you’re slicing vegetables, carving roasts, or preparing a week’s worth of ingredients, a sturdy cutting board gives you a dedicated surface that protects your benchtops and makes food handling more hygienic.
From colour-coded sets that help prevent cross-contamination to foldable or angled designs that assist with transferring chopped ingredients, you’ll find options to suit different cooking routines and storage spaces.
When selecting a new chopping board, consider what and how often you cook. Multi-piece sets are great for separating meat, veggies, and bread, while large single boards offer ample space for roasts and meal prep. Materials like bamboo, plastic, or polypropylene give you lightweight and durable options that are gentle on knife blades and easy to clean.
Some boards are designed to sit neatly in under-shelf systems or nest with knives in a compact case—ideal for small kitchens or shared spaces. For those looking to upgrade more than one prep item, explore matching tools in our knives & scissors collection, or browse utensil holders to help keep your kitchen bench clear.
Design matters as much as function. Coordinated chopping board sets can sit neatly on the counter in a storage case, while foldable boards make transferring chopped food to pans quick and tidy. Colour-coded boards add a practical pop of colour while promoting safer food handling. Some options even include textured surfaces or angled edges to catch juices and reduce mess during prep.
Match your board set with a streamlined bench organisation system or add drawer-friendly styles that make the most of every centimetre in compact kitchens.

It’s helpful to have at least two to three chopping boards. One for meat, one for fresh produce, and one for bread or dry goods. Colour-coded sets make this easier to manage.
Bamboo boards are durable, lightweight, and more resistant to deep knife grooves. Plastic boards are dishwasher safe and ideal for use with raw meats. The best choice depends on your kitchen habits and cleaning preferences.
Some plastic and polypropylene boards are dishwasher safe, but always check the manufacturer’s care instructions. Bamboo and wood boards should be hand washed and dried thoroughly.
A larger chopping board (at least 30–40cm wide) gives you more space for prep tasks and helps contain mess. Smaller boards are handy for quick tasks like slicing fruit or making sandwiches.
