In need of a new cutting board

I ordered a one of these online. Very friendly to your knife and easy to clean. I never pull out my wood boards anymore. I liked them so much I ordered a large custom size one for fish cleaning at my camp.

I was under the impression that glass was the one you didnt want anything to do with.

I never really thought much about cutting boards.

I have a couple nice wooden blocks for vegetables. Like work of art stuff. But they can't go in the dishwasher so I have a couple poly boards I use for protein. Other than trimming roasts and such I don't cut much protein on a board so I'm not worried about my knives.

Totally bamboo poly-boo cutting board. 1/2 bamboo and 1/2 polyurethane. Safe on all of my chefs knives and very versatile.

Go industrial plastic or Boos block.

I got this bad boy after Cooks Illustrated gave it their top rating a few years ago. Proteak

I've gone through numerous wood boards and they all will get ruined if you let them stay wet. Also the end grain cut sucks IMO as there are too many glued joints to crack and separate. I like the plank cut or even one solid piece of wood if you can find it thick enough. That said, I love the feel of wood much better. Keep it oiled. The above board does not absorb much oil at all as it is very dense wood.

I also have a poly board for wet stuff and protein. It also sits by my sink and my wife uses it like a drying mat- that's what killed so many of my wood boards.

White poly, in three sizes. Dishwasher safe, cheap as hell, and not hard on knives. Get em at your local resto supply house.
