Joseph Joseph Index Bamboo 3 Piece Chopping Board Set, Bamboo, Regular

Product Information

Joseph Joseph was founded in 2003 when the brothers designed their first item, a glass chopping board. Key details – Material: BPA free plastic (dishwasher-safe) Colours: White/Sage green; Sizes: Compact, Medium

Cons: Bamboo is harder than any hardwood, and its grain doesn’t offer much “give”. As such, it will dull your knives faster than wood, plastic or silicone. Wash it and it will warp, so you’ll have to wipe it instead – and oil it to keep it looking ship-shape. But there are a couple of downsides to this beautiful looking board.. One, it will blunt your knives in time, as would any bamboo board. Two, although incredibly hard-wearing, water is its kryptonite. It isn’t dishwasher-safe, and will warp if you soak it; you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Oil it with a food-safe oil such as linseed for maximum durability. Pros: Silicone may one day end the wood/plastic debate by out-doing both materials. Pro chefs already love its knife-cushioning and non-slip properties, its lightweight versatility and ease of cleaning. Designers love silicone, too, because it’s flexible enough to morph into pourers, funnels and even bowls.One of the key Joseph Joseph developments was when they turned their eye for design to bins and waste management.

Joseph Joseph chopping boards and kitchenware What’s more, the retention of bacteria isn’t really the problem. The biggest hygiene risk in any kitchen comes from cross-contamination between different types of food, such as raw meat, fish and dough. It hardly matters the material on which you prepare these foodstuffs, as long as you use different surfaces for each food type – and keep them clean. What are the pros and cons of other materials?

The finer details

Not so fast. Plastic boards are easier to clean than wood, not least because you can slide them into the dishwasher and sanitise them using chemicals and bleach, which rinse off plastic far more easily than wood. There are plenty of other considerations to make when shopping for a chopping board, including durability and weight, as well as materials such as silicone, bamboo and glass… Pros: Even cheap polypropylene boards are dishwasher-safe and can withstand rigorous abuse from chemicals, hence their popularity in pro kitchens. They’re lightweight and easy to manufacture in different colours, so you can buy a colour-coded set to avoid cross-contamination.

Like a lot of plastic chopping boards, sharp knife marks do start to show after a while, but it’s still pretty durable for the price and you can throw it in the dishwasher when you have finished with it for a thorough, hygienic clean. The Joseph Joseph Totem Intelligent Waste System is a fantastic solution to household waste. This clever bin takes up the same amount of room as a standard bin but has separate compartments so you can store all your kitchen waste and recycling in one place. OXO’s board is fairly large so you’ll need enough space to store it when it’s not in use, or you could opt for the compact size that’s 18.4 x 27.3cm. Take a look at these fantastic looking, iconic Joseph Joseph Totem Compact Waste Recycling Units too, to see how good a Joseph Joseph recycling bin can look. That Joseph and Joseph touchDownsides? You’ll see knife cuts in the boards before long, but this is almost impossible to avoid with a polypropylene board; bear in mind that these boards don’t mark as easily as cheaper plastic boards. They’re dishwasher-safe – except the textured holder, which should be wiped clean instead – and fairly resistant to warping, too. If you get frustrated by fruit and vegetable peelings getting in the way while you chop, this compact board is an ideal solution, especially on a budget. Featuring two detachable trays that sit on each side of the chopping board, the Chop and Swipe lets you easily separate your peel and chopped food, leaving you with more space on the main board to continue prepping. Joseph Joseph designed items are characteristically elegant, reliable and made to an exceptional finish. But what really sets their designs apart is the fact that all of their products have clever added features that make them that little bit more useful. And in turn make your life that little bit easier. The Joseph Joseph Index range of chopping boards is an innovative solution to the problem of cross-contamination in the kitchen. The set comes with four colour-coded boards, each with a tab indicating which food group it should be used for: raw meat, vegetables, fish, or cooked food. This system ensures that you always use the right board for the right task, preventing bacteria from spreading and keeping your food safe.
