By MITI

Chopping-board storage should make the board easy to reach while allowing it to stay clean and dry between uses. The right setup depends on your cupboard space, worktop layout and board shape.

Dry before storing

After hand washing, allow the board to dry fully before putting it into an enclosed storage space. Avoid soaking MITI bamboo boards and keep them out of the dishwasher.

Vertical or flat storage?

Vertical storage can save shelf space when the rack supports the board securely. Flat storage can work in a cupboard or drawer when the board fits without being forced against other items.

Measure the storage space

Check height, width and depth before buying a board. A shape that works well on the worktop still needs a practical home after use.

Compare the Traditional Bamboo Chopping Board and Semi-Curved Bamboo Chopping Board, both currently £35.

FAQs

Can I store a chopping board while damp?

It is better to let it dry fully before enclosed storage.

Should chopping boards be stored upright?

They can be, provided the board is stable, dry and the storage system suits its size and shape.
