Chopping board - Wood VS Glass VS Plastic

[xsquared]

We have always used wooden chopping boards, but somehow them are in dire need of replacing.

I thought that wood were meant to be the most hygienic option, but it makes sense that with its porosity, it makes them.mire susceptible to harbouring bacteria and mold growth. Also, the more you wash them, the wetter they get and they buckle over time.

So, if you use a non wooden one, which type do you use? I'm not going to spend a fortune on one but I would like one that's durable.

No, I’ve done it for years. It’s only like a glass chopping board, I guess. I never liked the plastic ones, all scratched and discoloured, and I always thought wood was a bit illy, couldn’t see how it was hygienic once scratched, so I just used a plate.

Plastic for food prep, we use the JosephJoseph ones. Easy to clean and decontaminate and can go in the dishwasher.

Wood for bread.

I hate glass. Slippery, blunt your knives, noisy. Never see a pro use them.

I scrub my board , and saw a tip once and do this , cut a lemon in half , and put a good amount of salt on the board and rub the lemon , cut side down all over it . Leave for 15 / 30 minutes , wipe off scrub again , and oil the board . Keeps your board in good condition .
I've got a normal size board for normal use ( we are vegetarian ) and a smaller one for onions / garlic only .
