I follow Michael Symon on Twitter and he recently started a thread about wooden cutting boards. I haven’t really thought too much about my cutting boards. I have several plastic ones, some flexible sheets, and other rigid boards. I trust what Michael has to say on this matter ever since my trip to Mabel’s BBQ in Cleveland, OH. It is a great BBQ joint!
The article that Michael cites is from Common Sense Home: 4 Reasons Wooden Cutting Boards Are Best. Wooden cutting boards naturally resist bacteria, provide a great cutting surface, and are easy to clean and maintain.
- Wooden Cutting Boards Kill Bacteria
- Wooden Cutting Boards Protect Your Knives
- Wooden Cutting Boards are Easy to Take Care Of
- Wooden Cutting Boards are Customizable
So, do the research yourself and draw your own conclusions. If you decide to get a wooden cutting board, I recommend a Teak Cutting Board cured with beeswax and coconut oil.
