I retired all my nice wooden boards and switched to plastic. My
wooden boards are now resigned to dry use only; cheese, fruit,
sausage, bread and such... for serving rather than prep work. I have
some very large and thick wooden carving boards that I use for large
roasts, but those don't get used often enough to stay out and are
really too large to display. I like the new plastic boards as they
can go in the dishwasher. I have a pantry for storage, all my wooden
boards are in there, and some larger plastic boards too. I keep two
very functional sized plastic boards on my counter leaning up against
the back splash behind my toaster... those two suffice for 99 percent
of my everyday kitchen work... I really don't see the point in a
thirty pound block of wood to prep carrots, onions, and celery. I
don't like the bamboo boards, some may think they're pretty but the
binder matrix is very abrasive and not kind to knives... they're
actually sections of the same material used for composite flooring.
