Find the right surface for prep work
A cutting board should match the food and workspace: compare overall dimensions, thickness, wood species, weight, juice grooves, and whether feet raise the board above the counter. Large end-grain butcher blocks can offer a heavier work surface; a thinner board may be more convenient to move and store. Use separate clean surfaces for raw meats and ready-to-eat food, and follow the maker's cleaning and conditioning instructions.

Butcher blocks are often thicker or heavier-duty cutting surfaces, although product terminology and construction vary.
Can wooden boards go in the dishwasher?
