Cutting Boards

[*crikey*mate*]

I use big wooden ones. rotate 3 for general every day use 

Wooden Butchers block for big stuff

Marble slab for pastry and chocolate

Wooden thing with ledges for pasta

at work we have to use stupid plastic ones in 5 different freakin colours depending on the food - waste of time continually swapping bioards around and they're slippery as all get up - safety hazard, yet the powers that be say we have to use them, (when they're looking)

they coloured ones look shocking too once they get a bit if wear, at least the white ones you can bleach and they always look clean

White = General Purpose Dairy

Green = Fruit and veg

Red = Raw Meat

Blue = Cooked food

Brown - Fish and seafood

yellow - Raw poultry

What do you use?

There is plastic and then there is plastic.

Mine wern't expensive ones but they are pretty good.  I did have a slippery one but I ditched it and shopped around..

I mostly only use two.  Green for raw chicken and red for just about everything else.  I also have a couple of wooden boards including a pretty, possibly antique pie crust wooden board for cheeses.

Yeah, that was it, it was the type of plastic, some of them stain too.

I use a black one for onion garlic and ginger.

That is interesting about wood being better for knives, makes sense.

I have only ever used wood, I rotate about 3 of them and they get cleaned immediately after use, no sitting around. Would not use glass or plastic ones.

My Dil had a thing about using plastic when she first married my son, these days there are no plastic ones in their house only some very good wooden ones that also get cleaned immediately after use.

Oh and like Lind I also hate cooking.

Plastic boards won't slip around if you put a damp cloth underneath them

Such dexterity is both admirable and enviable.

yes, but the food slips around on top of them!

You should put a wet cloth or wet paper towel under any cutting board if it is to sit on top of your bench.
