Kitchen "CUTTING BOARDS"......Wood or Plastic or Latest Thingie..??

[BBLife]

I'm still designing the kitchen but will have a huge Island that I'll probably make the top out of Black Locust and just use that as the cutting board. Will wipe it down with Bees Wax as needed.

A cutting board would be a lot easier to replace then a Black Locust counter top.

Maybe. But with a sawmill and plenty of Black Locust it wouldn't cost me anything. I'd think that Black Locust would last much longer than I'll be alive. Scrape it with a good sharp scraper every year or so and it's brand new again anyway.

Simply google "which is safer wood or plastic cutting boards".
You may be surprised.

Whether a cutting board is safe all depends on the care you give it.

The flexible plastic cutting boards go in the dishwasher.
We have a bunch of them so they get replaced and washed after every use.
