Purity Matters
Look for cutting boards made from at least 99% pure titanium. Some manufacturers use titanium alloys that may not offer the same benefits. Reputable brands will provide certification of their titanium purity.
Surface Finish
Titanium cutting boards come with different surface finishes:
•Smooth finish: Easier to clean, more hygienic
•Textured finish: Better grip for cutting, may be noisier
For most home cooks, a smooth finish is preferable.
Size Considerations
Consider your kitchen space and cooking habits:
•Small (30cm x 20cm): Perfect for apartments or light cooking
•Medium (35cm x 25cm): Good all-around size for most households
•Large (45cm x 30cm): Ideal for serious cooks or large families
Thickness
Thicker boards (8-12mm) offer better stability and durability but are heavier and more expensive. Thinner boards (4-6mm) are lighter and more affordable but may flex during use.
Certification and Safety
Look for boards with:
•SGS certification for purity
•FDA approval for food contact
•Australian safety standards compliance
