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.

4........big wooden one I use every day
round one with a picture of a crab on it
oblong one which fits on part of my sink
square one like oblong one.....white plastic type....

only use the wooden one normally, but will use the others if I am cooking for loads and chopping different things....

One and I'm still waiting for OH to rest his tired head on it lol ..............

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?

I have 4 that i actually use for food prep - but i have a few others used purely to protect my worktop from things like the toaster, utensil pots etc ................

I have two, a glass one for meat, and the wooden one for veg, with the reverse side for bread.

i have one for everything lol
and a glass fancy one infront of me kettle to ake cuppas on lol

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 have 3

But thats only cos my 2 need 1 each for something they were doing up the school.

AS i don't cook 1 for me is enough lol

No ......I have to say.......I DID think she may be a bit OCD......other stuff as well...just wondered if it was me being a bit..........lazy though lol xx

1 a glass one for .meat.,,,,but hate it.

and a block for most other stuff.

I have one with a red handle for meat and one with a white handle for veg, a glass one that sits on my work surface is used for bread, a small board is used for onions, garlic etc.

I have 1 large wooden one .
and i use one side for meat and the other side for everything else ..

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