style with a purpose: index chopping boards
The MoMA Store is a treasure trove of great jewelry and stationery, but I never thought it would be my new go-to for cool kitchen accessories! I love these polypropylene Index Chopping Boards by Damian Evans ($85 for nonmembers, $76.50 for members). Their artful design smartly helps you avoid cross-contamination by color coding, and they tuck away in a slim folder that leaves plenty of counter space open. — Katie D.

Finally, cutting boards that match the food being cut. You’ve done it again, human spirit!

I must have these cutting boards. Love how they are protected when stored (my cat loves to rub up against/sit on any cutting board on the counter). Plus the clearly marked purpose of each board is so great, especially for me a vegetarian living with carnivores. Thanks

Those are cute and offer a good storage solution, but are they stored all pressed up against each other? I’d still worry about cross-contamination… if I worried about it in the first place. A good cleaning is all I do for my boards.

Misty, I think by the time they are washed and air dry they should be safe — I just toss my cutting boards in a drawer together, so if the germs are still alive, I’m in trouble.

I like using separate cutting boards not so much for the usual germy fear, but because I like to know that I’m cutting a pear on a surface that I didn’t cut garlic on last night. We have an “allium-only” board for onions and the like, and that seems to work pretty well.
