in the light of my visit this weekend.

I have 2 chopping boards.

One for meat.......a glass one

and one for everything else.

My friend has 7!!!!!!!

please don't ask me exactly how it pans out because I lost track BUT some are for meat, some for veg, some for onion and garlic...some only for veg.......some for bread......

Anyhow........I lost the plot in the end .......waaaaaaay to technical for me.

Soooooo question is.

How many chopping boards do you have and what are they used for? xx

I have a separate glass one for daughter she is semi vegetarian! She won't eat meat.

That reminds me I have a plastic one missing.

We have one chopping board , my oh does most of the cooking , he uses one side for veg and the other for meat . On the rare occasions that I prepare the food I probably use the wrong sides but I haven't given the family food poisoning so far : )

I've got 3 but only really cos they're different sizes and so that if I chop meat, then I've still got a clean one for the veg. Once they're properly washed the meat 'germs' are surely gone and you can use any for anything?! sounds like your friend has OCD tendencies maybe?

Maz, could be that her friend has worked in kitchens. There you HAVE to use separate boards for different things. They are usually colour coded.

That's where my habit comes from.

I have a good scrubbable one that I use for meat or chicken - I clean it by rubbing salt into it with half a lemon. I have a veggie one which I wash in the warm soapy water.

I asked Mont to buy me a new wooden one at the weekend as it's all criss crossed with knife marks.
