I hope people don’t judge me as dirty because of this. The case for the prosecution is already pretty damning so don’t worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I think plastic ones are shite. They just slide. I have a big wooden block that doesn't budge when I'm using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The missus comes home with a new chopping board at least once a month. Don't think she has ever used one though (I'm the cook - she just makes cakes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Had big wooden board and 3-pack of pishy thin colourful plastic things for 5 years now. Wooden for bread / sandwiches etc, red one for meat, green one for veg and the all important blue one that has never been used for anything other than a calming colour to prevent a Ballistic Bob moment on a near daily basis: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 The correct thing to do is invest in a good quality butchers block and oil it regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I realised last night I’ve had my ‘good, wooden’ chopping board about 2 years. It’s still in fine condition. Few plastics ones have come and gone since then. Might get a new ‘good, wooden’ board soon as a wee treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unleash The Nade Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Wooden chopping boards are much more hygienic than plastic providing you regularly clean them properly . Wood has natural anti bacterial properties , plastic doesn’t . With regards to the glass or marble ones , easy to clean but they totally f**k up the sharpness of your knives So if you buy a good quality heavy wooden chopping board, if looked after properly it should last many years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Three boards: Wooden board for bread/sandwiches/cheese Large plastic board for things you're going to cook Large plastic board for things that have already been cooked The latter two go in to the dishwasher after each use.

If you didn’t have a marble chopping board you wouldn’t need to sharpen them so often Eta . You only need to sharpen a knife in 3 stages if it’s totally blunt , which kinda reinforces my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
