Does anyone have a favorite brand that they use. I am looking to change from the one I have been using.

I have used this set of 4 for several years. They are flexible and I like to have a clean one when going from meat to veg.

I like those thin flexible ones, too. Easy to handle, clean and store.

I also use thin flexible ones. I think mine are from Cooking Light. They came with a knife set from QVC.

I use a smaller plastic one I use for simple chopping.

For meats and/or major (more than just a little) I use a large wooden one by Pampered Chef, covered by the applicable heavy plastic pliable "board." I have vegetable, fruit, chicken, fish, and beef.

For bread I use the wooden one uncovered.

I used to use plastic mostly. I also own a big Boos board with a well around the perimeter. These days I use a titanium board in order to avoid microplastics. It does not dull knives.

Another vote for avoiding microplastics, etc.

I purchaed a custom 12x18 walnut cutting board with grooves and built in handles on Etsy.

I had a solid maple board that was badly stained and when replacing it, I realized how handy handles were!

I use Dixie disposable cutting boards. I get a big pack from Amazon.

I got rid of all of my plastic cutting boards in order to avoid microplastics, too. I've been using wood, but tell me more about titanium and why it doesn't dull knives. Seems as if it would. Educate me.

@shoesnbags - when I did my research I learned that even though titanium is super strong it's softer than stainless steel, and thus more gentle on knives.

I love my Boos board, also love my In the Kitchen with David board, I use both for charcuteries as well. But in the motorhome I use thin plastic boards as pictured previously in the thread they conserve space.

@shoesnbags @JeanLouiseFinch I threw out the plastic ones last week, except for a few to carry meat back and forth to the grill. I have a big collection of wooden ones in a big basket, so I guess I'm set for life! Bought them on sale over the years: Boos, Le Creuset and a lot of other name brands so I'm putting them to use!

Wood and plastic are so unsanitary. They scratch and harbor bacteria. I use a glass cutting board. Doesn't scratch and stays like new forever. I just throw it in my dishwasher to clean.

I use the glass inserts that used to come with Temp-tations bakers many years ago. You would get the baker, a wire rack and a glass insert that could be used as a trivet or cutting board. I used to use plastic and wood, but when handling raw meat, the juices would get in the grooves and I was afraid of cross-contamination. I feel glass is more sanitary.

I have a wooden one I bought at Ikea a few years ago...larger, with well going around it, sits on my counter, for basic work.

I have a small plastic one I've had for years, also happens to be from Ikea (where I hardly ever shop, but both boards from there)...I am only recently becoming aware of "microplastics" being and issue so I wonder...I use that small one often for small chopping, easy clean up without dirtying the wood one.

Meats I cut on some glass & metal boards I keep stored.

I would use those glass ones (bought on QVC years ago) ilo plastic, but I don't like the sound or thought of my knives chopping on those, and figure they'll dull them, so I don't use them other than meats....clean, don't hold bacteria, can go in dishwasher. (I put that small plastic one in dishwasher too.)

Bf recently told me he read an article, about how much plastic we've ingested just from drinking water, and other drinks from plastic bottles. So...before I worry about my cutting board shedding microplastics, I figure I'm already overloaded from the bottles! Sigh. Plastic everywhere. I try to do my best. AND when it isn't plastics, it's PFOA's etc.

"They're out to get us", everything is done on the "cheap" or marketed for safety at a very high price tag. Something's gonna get us eventually!!...and way sooner than our grandparents...as it seems by the numbers these days... but I digress.

Wood, plastic, glass...I use the plastic one the most.

I have several in both wood and plastic in several sizes. I use the thin flexible ones far more than the others. Convenient for when cutting an onion, etc. you can take it over to the skillet/pot on the stove and add the contents of what has been chopped.
