Chopping Boards in Kenya — Bamboo, Wood & Plastic
Different chopping boards suit different needs. Bamboo chopping boards are the modern favourite — hard, lightweight, sustainable, and beautiful enough to serve cheese and charcuterie on. Wooden cutting boards (acacia, oak, walnut) are heavier and traditional — a serious cook's choice that gets better with age. Plastic chopping boards are dishwasher-safe and the most hygienic for raw meat and fish — most professional kitchens use colour-coded plastic boards for cross-contamination control.
Chopping Board Sizes & Sets
Most kitchens need at least two chopping boards — one for vegetables and prepared food, one for raw meat and fish. Our sets typically include 2-3 sizes (small for fruits and quick chopping, medium for daily veg prep, large for serious meal prep). Look for boards with juice grooves to catch liquid from tomatoes, melons and roasted meats. Boards with handles and rubber feet stay put while you chop.
Caring for Chopping Boards
Bamboo and wooden boards need slightly more care than plastic. Hand-wash after every use (no dishwasher), dry immediately, and oil monthly with food-grade mineral oil to prevent cracking. Never soak wooden boards — the wood absorbs water and warps. Plastic boards are dishwasher-safe but should still be air-dried thoroughly. Replace any board with deep cuts where bacteria can hide.
Complete Your Kitchen Prep Setup
Chopping boards work best alongside the right kitchen tools. Pair with our knives and knife sets collection for sharp chef knives that won't ruin your boards. Add pieces from our kitchen utensils range for spatulas and tongs, and our serving trays collection for matching wood and bamboo presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bamboo or plastic chopping board — which is better?
Bamboo is better for looking good in a modern kitchen and doubling as a serving board. Plastic is better for raw meat and fish where dishwasher cleaning matters most. Most households benefit from having both — a bamboo board for daily veg prep and a plastic board for meat.
How often should I oil a wooden chopping board?
Monthly is the standard recommendation for wooden and bamboo boards — more often if the board looks dry, less often in humid conditions. Use food-grade mineral oil; never use vegetable or olive oil (they go rancid).
