Cutting Board in kitchen is a must thing , without cutting board kitchen activities suffers especially in those cases where you are cutting varieties of fruits and vegetables for your meal and even meat too . When we purchase cutting board for our home kitchen in that case is not actually about " Culinary Knowledge" it is about selection of good quality with attractive color, but when we have to set up commerical kitchen in that case we will have to focus on usage of cutting board as well the science of color code. As I have mentioned above each color cutting board has its own usage and as per food safety management system, hotel/ restaurant or any food outlet will have to implement it to avoid any kind of food contamination .
