Let’s say you’re out with a friend, and they are discussing a tough day at work. “If it happens again,” they tell you, “my head will be on the chopping block.” Now, is your immediate reaction to (A) feel sorry for your pal, (B) conclude that the transgression was most likely their own fault, or (C) wonder what kind of chopping block, exactly, and would it need regular re-oiling with food-grade mineral oil?
If you answered “C,” then this article is for you. No matter your dietary lifestyle — be it vegetarian, paleolithic, or good old-fashioned omnivorous — you’ve no doubt found yourself in front of the chopping block a time or two. Whether you use a plastic cutting board or the thick, wood slabs known as “butcher blocks,” we’ve all had to slice and dice fruits, veggies, and meats on a smooth, hard surface. BBC Good Food says that there is no wrong way to chop; a plastic board is easy to clean and often color-coded for food safety, while bamboo’s low cost means you can splurge on a larger block. But leave it to The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond — professional chopper and queen of cute — to find a butcher block that can not only withstand repeated attacks with a knife but look good while doing it.
