It's important to choose a high-density chakla made of teak wood or white marble. These materials prevent the growth of bacteria and eliminate possibilities of dampness on the surface. However, you may need to apply mineral oil/cooking oil/ beeswax to the wooden model to keep it in good condition for the long-term. Plus, this also saves them from warping when washed with water.

On the other hand, plastic chakla aren't eco-friendly or health-friendly like the wooden/marble models. It's best to avoid adding a plastic tool to your cookware. Like the wooden chakla, marble models are hygienic, sturdy and durable. Moreover, marble chakla doesn't warp as it's non-porous.
