Pizzas are an enjoyable treat that can bring families and friends together. But to ensure a tasty pizza dining experience, use an appropriate pizza cutting board to prevent bacteria growth and stain formation on plastic cutting boards, which often become scratched by kitchen knives and pizza cutters, making cleaning and sanitization challenging.
Easy to clean
If you love pizza-making, a nonstick wooden cutting board with nonstick shoes is ideal. Not only is its design stylish and practical; but its large surface area also makes it great for cutting up multiple slices at the same time. Plus, its heat resistance has it protected up to 400 F – meaning no melting!
Wooden cutting boards are stronger and longer-lasting alternatives to plastic ones. You can find wooden boards made of walnut, teak, and maple; walnut in particular can be an ideal closed-grained hardwood that won’t dull your blade as quickly. Plus, its water resistance makes it even better.
To properly clean a pizza cutting board, start by giving it a thorough rinse in warm, soapy water. After drying completely, to get rid of stains or odors on its surface sprinkle coarse salt on it before applying lemon juice; or combine baking soda and vinegar for deodorization purposes and use MacKenzie’s Fisherman Hand Scrub, which includes exfoliants to deodorize hands as well as cleaning tools.
Sturdy
Attempting to serve pizza like an expert requires the proper cutting boards. Wooden boards are ideal for this, not slipping as you cut and providing additional protection from accidents and injury; additionally, they’re easier to clean and sanitize compared to silicone ones which crack easily while harboring bacteria.
An ideal pizza cutting board should be constructed of sturdy materials like maple or walnut and should be regularly treated with mineral oil to condition and preserve its surface. Direct sunlight or near heat sources should be avoided to prevent drying out and becoming brittle, leading to cracking of the board. Also, avoid placing it in the dishwasher or leaving it submerged in water; these actions could warp and crack over time.
Glass cutting boards are a popular choice for pizza, but they do present several drawbacks. First of all, they’re hard on knives and pizza cutters over time, leading to duller blades over time. Furthermore, they can easily shatter when dropped or handled incorrectly; but there are alternatives such as wood and bamboo pizza peels which offer more durability, easier cleanup, and provide various styling options.
Stain resistant
When shopping for a pizza cutting board, be sure to select one that can withstand both high heat and stain resistance. Furthermore, look for cutting boards with holes in their handles so that they can be hung when not in use and added as part of your kitchen decor. This way will keep it clean and dry!
Wood pizza boards are the ideal combination of durability and aesthetics. Applying food-grade mineral oil regularly will protect it from drying out or cracking and keep liquid from permeating through to its surface, potentially leading to microbial contamination of your board.
Silicone cutting boards may not be ideal for pizza cutting; their flexible surface makes it hard to slice through the pizza crust with ease. Furthermore, they become stained from pizza sauce over time and accumulate small nicks from knives that could lead to bacteria growth and create an unsafe surface for using pizza cutters.
For an ultra-durable, stain-resistant pizza cutting board that won’t crack under pressure, Richlite laminate pizza/sandwich boards offer excellent solutions. Their unique material feels similar to wood while offering more hygiene than poly cutting boards as it can withstand up to 350 degrees of heat without cracking or melting away.
Easy to store
Pizza cutting boards are an effective way of presenting homemade pizzas and making them look delectable. Available in an array of styles, sizes, and materials that fit any need you may have, pizza boards will help highlight golden crust, melting cheese, and delicious toppings to impress guests and ensure an exceptional dining experience.
Wooden pizza boards are easier to keep clean than their glass counterparts and last longer due to their sturdy build and durable nature. Though they’re not dishwasher-safe, wooden pizza cutting boards should still be hand-washed regularly using food-grade oil or wax products to prevent cracking and warping of the surface.
If you’re shopping for a high-quality pizza cutting board, choose one made of solid wood or eco-friendly bamboo. Not only will these boards protect countertops but they’re also visually stunning additions to any kitchen and some even come equipped with an indentation for hanging when not in use!
Another effective pizza cutting board option is an acacia wood paddle with grooves to guide your knife evenly through each slice for evenly sized pieces. Easy to use and attractive addition to your kitchen, check for products with manufacturer warranties to make sure you purchase high-quality cutting boards.
