Cutting boards

[BBQIL]

What material cutting boards do you all prefer to use?

[david brace]

I prefer my large wooden cutting board. It was a piece of a cutting table from a Japanese restaurant from years ago, and I just kinda got used to it. It's big...about 3 feet long and about 18 inches wide. Made from maple and walnut.

I also have a few plastic cutting boards, and a purpleheart which is my favorite small cutting board.

I've got a big synthetic one I love and a few smaller wooden one that are used mostly for cheese and breads

I prefer large plastics to prep meat. Right into the dishwasher.

I have come to love the Cut & Toss disposable boards.

For comps and around the house. Talk about easy clean up.

Here is the link for those that have not seen them.

I use an 18 x 24 plastic board that I bought from www.cuttingboardcompany.com. I routed out some juice channels around the edges, mounted some rubber feet, and it works really well for larger pieces like brisket and shoulder. They do custom sized boards as well.

I prefer the wood/maple cutting boards. Plus those kinds of boards have a natural enzyme in them that kills bacteria.

When the smaller boards start skating all over the table, I throw one or two of the rubber jar-openers onto the table under them. Works like a charm...

I have a couple of bamboo cutting boards that I have been using for about a year. So far I really like them.

My company used to sell 24"x 24" HDPE boards. Before we closed them out, I bought about 15 of them. They work great, but it is hard to find a sink big enough for them. There are two guys in Tejas bugging me to send them some. I have two for each of them, but I can't seem to remember their names......

woodman, you seem to a "queer' case of amnesia, if you cant remember who the great people in the great country of texas aere that wants them!!!!

I also like the plastic ones. They are easy to clean and maintain, and they do a good job.

I use the thin 1/16" plastic made of UHMWPE I cut one to fit a cookie sheet so it catches the flotsam works good, stores and packs light, cleans easy.

hey folks,i'm new here but have been cooking a long time. ihave a friend that worked in plastics co..he gave me a pallet full of 1'' thick plastic sheets and they woork great.i just used a router to put a groove around the edge to catch any drips.

[peps]

you can get thoes large 16 x 20 white plastic (UHMW I think) at the restraunt supply places for really cheap, they have larger ones too. I think i paid under $10.00 for mine.
it has a juice gutter on it too.

When we bought our house it had a stand-alone dishwasher with a 25x24x1.5" inch maple top. One heavy MF. I remodled the kitchen, saving the top of the old dishwasher for a cutting board. I sealed it with a food safe finish and use both slides. After a couple of years, I reseal it. I clean it with a mixture of clorine and water since I'm on well water. We have several smaller ones which will fit in the sink. They, too, are wood.

I recently saw a bamboo cutting board and noticed it said it was harder than other wood cutting boards, so I thought I may give it a try.

Bamboo must be hard. My son is converting several floor of a downtown Grand Rapids, MI building to condos. The first one he sold had bamboo floors.
