  44. I definitely prefer wood. I know it's silly but I've never used glass as I just have a mental image of them shattering! Once the plastic ones have taken a few scores they are really hard to clean with the scourer catching in every mark. So wood, which I give an oil to from time to time and just a quick scrub with hot water, washing up liquid and a squirt of anti-bac.

    ReplyDelete

  56. I used to love wood but I tend to favour plastic these days as it's so durable and easier to watch flavours like garlic and onion away

    ReplyDelete
  57. I love the 'plastic' ones as I use the meat hammer a lot for things like schnitzel (midweek family favourite). It does not seem to damage the board.

    ReplyDelete

  90. I used to have the most amazing marble chopping board and it was supposed to be unbreakable but somehow I managed to drop it on the floor and it broke! That was amazing. I have a wooden one now but I know these are not the most hygenic!
