Pros: Bamboo is a strong, lightweight, affordable alternative to end-grain hardwood. It grows fast and is cultivated without pesticides, so it’s more eco-friendly than wood or synthetic materials. And since it’s so light, a huge slab-style bamboo board will remain easy to lift. Joseph Joseph is a UK-based manufacturer of great-looking and functional homeware products. Created by twin-brothers Antony and Richard Joseph, the company prides itself on designing modern and innovative products for the kitchen, utility room and bathroom. The only niggle we had is that it marked easily when using heavy-duty knives. If you’re like us though, you’ll have a different chopping board for different tasks and this one is ideal for general everyday use. If you’re looking for a sturdy breadboard, this might not be the one for you, however. The Joseph Joseph Totem Intelligent Waste System is a fantastic solution to household waste. This clever bin takes up the same amount of room as a standard bin but has separate compartments so you can store all your kitchen waste and recycling in one place.

Not so fast. Plastic boards are easier to clean than wood, not least because you can slide them into the dishwasher and sanitise them using chemicals and bleach, which rinse off plastic far more easily than wood.The best chopping boards you can buy in 2023 1. Joseph Joseph Chop2Pot: Best foldable chopping board That’s not to say a wooden chopping board will be self-cleaning – you’ll still have to wash it. However, it possesses anti-microbial properties that make it somewhat more resistant to bacteria than plastic. So I should buy a wooden board, then? But there are a couple of downsides to this beautiful looking board.. One, it will blunt your knives in time, as would any bamboo board. Two, although incredibly hard-wearing, water is its kryptonite. It isn’t dishwasher-safe, and will warp if you soak it; you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Oil it with a food-safe oil such as linseed for maximum durability.

Cons: Bamboo is harder than any hardwood, and its grain doesn’t offer much “give”. As such, it will dull your knives faster than wood, plastic or silicone. Wash it and it will warp, so you’ll have to wipe it instead – and oil it to keep it looking ship-shape.

Joseph Joseph chopping boards and kitchenware Joseph Joseph was founded in 2003 when the brothers designed their first item, a glass chopping board. The Joseph Joseph Index range of chopping boards is an innovative solution to the problem of cross-contamination in the kitchen. The set comes with four colour-coded boards, each with a tab indicating which food group it should be used for: raw meat, vegetables, fish, or cooked food. This system ensures that you always use the right board for the right task, preventing bacteria from spreading and keeping your food safe. OXO’s board is fairly large so you’ll need enough space to store it when it’s not in use, or you could opt for the compact size that’s 18.4 x 27.3cm. Another great feature of the Index range is the storage case that comes with it. The case has a non-slip base and features slots for each board, keeping them organized and easily accessible. The case also has a slim, compact design that takes up minimal space on your countertop or in your kitchen drawers. Overall, the Joseph Joseph Index range of chopping boards is a practical and stylish solution to one of the biggest challenges in the kitchen. Where are Joseph Joseph products made?

What’s more, the retention of bacteria isn’t really the problem. The biggest hygiene risk in any kitchen comes from cross-contamination between different types of food, such as raw meat, fish and dough. It hardly matters the material on which you prepare these foodstuffs, as long as you use different surfaces for each food type – and keep them clean. What are the pros and cons of other materials? Joseph Joseph designed items are characteristically elegant, reliable and made to an exceptional finish. But what really sets their designs apart is the fact that all of their products have clever added features that make them that little bit more useful. And in turn make your life that little bit easier. With their keen eyes for colour and form, each item designed by Joseph Joseph looks distinct and stylish. But more than that, the twin brothers have a passion for designing better products that make day-to-day tasks around the home faster and easier. So not only do Joseph Joseph items look fantastic, but they’re also practical too and make your life that little bit simpler.

The finer details

Each board also includes a feature designed especially for that ingredient. The meat board has a moat to stop juices spilling over the edge of the board; the fish board has grippers; the cooked food board is equipped with crumb catchers. All four have rubberised feet on both sides, so they’re fully reversible and won’t slip. However, since then scientists have found that wood can help resist harmful bacteria, turning food hygiene orthodoxy on its head. In 1994, Wisconsin University researchers infected plastic and wood boards with E.coli, salmonella and listeria, finding that the wooden boards retained 98-99% less bacteria than plastic. Plastic was said to become an even worse breeding ground for bacteria once it’s scarred with knife marks. Downsides? You’ll see knife cuts in the boards before long, but this is almost impossible to avoid with a polypropylene board; bear in mind that these boards don’t mark as easily as cheaper plastic boards. They’re dishwasher-safe – except the textured holder, which should be wiped clean instead – and fairly resistant to warping, too. All of Joseph Joseph's products are designed in the UK, but their production process takes place globally. The brand works with manufacturers and suppliers worldwide to ensure that their products are made to the highest quality standards while also maintaining a commitment to sustainability. Joseph Joseph uses eco-friendly materials wherever possible, such as recycled plastic and bamboo, and they also aim to reduce waste and energy consumption throughout the manufacturing process.
