Of course TW, the Beechwood one cost a fortune and OH bought that when he went through a phase of cooking...lol

Marble is brill, I make my own bread and if you place the cut side down on marble it stays as fresh as when you made it :-)) If you make stir fry all the chopped ingredients stay nice and cool before you chuck 'em in a bl**dy hot pan...lol

I have 4 coloured ones - red for raw meat, blue for raw fish, green for veg and yellow which is sort of spare. Green one gets used loads and is a bit tatty now. I often chop raw meat on a plate. And I have a wooden breadboard.

TW

I dont use the glass one at all really,it just sits there for show,:}}}}}

FGS Sue you can't just have a run-of-the-mill glass or wooden or even plastic one can you! Noooo it has to be marble or beechwood.. *tsk*

One marble, two plastic, one glass and a huge Beechwood one which only comes out when I am prepping in front of friends I wan't to impress (so that doesn't see the light of day often)..lol

I have three:

1) glass one for buttering bread/toast/making sarnies. Can not use sharp knife on it because it makes my teethe scream!!

2) wood one for cutting veggies etc.

3) for cutting meat.

4) I know only said 3 but this is when OH has had a few too many to drink.... any combination you can think of. We are still alive and kicking. lol

I asked Mont to buy me a new wooden one at the weekend as it's all criss crossed with knife marks.
His answer--------- They've not gone all the way through yet have they?
Years left in it.

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.

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

and a block for most other stuff.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 ................
