Detailed explanation-1: -A Damp Kitchen Towel: Get the towel wet and then wring out as much water as possible. Lay it under your cutting board to create traction between the board and the counter. Thin, cotton towels work best for this; thicker towels are too spongy and can make the board rock while you’re chopping.
Detailed explanation-2: -The easiest and cheapest way to keep your cutting board from slipping is to put a damp paper towel or damp kitchen cloth under your cutting board. This creates friction between your board and the counter to keep things from slipping.
Detailed explanation-3: -Otherwise, consider using a kitchen towel, washcloth, or other type of cloth underneath your cutting board. In the event that you are cutting proteins that could cause a mess or lead to cross contamination, Braley suggests dampening one or two paper towels and placing your board on top of them.
