Bamboo is even better than wood no? And arguably environmentally better - can be at least. Bamboo is generally stated to be antibacterial. Pretty hard too.
Don't use glass, that's a terrible idea unless you like blunt knives.
I do wonder about the health effects of using plastic too - especially when it's really soft. Ends up in your food?
Wood to be nice to have a bamboo index set. Actually argos sell one. A better looking version of this would be nice: argos.co.uk/pro…006
And place those cheap thin plastic chopping sheets on top.

I'm veggie.. there's virtually no foodstuffs I need a sharp knife for. :grin:

Bizarre. I eat mostly vegetables, and definitely want sharp knives for that. I make a salad daily at lunch time with loads of veg (technically fruit a lot of it - let's call them salad items), and definitely want a sharp knife - e.g. tomatoes, carrot, red cabbage.
I would imagine a glass chopping board feels/sounds horrible too when cutting on.

Actually any butcher I have ever been to has used wood for chopping and there is a reason for that! But I guess they don't know about the so called food premises ban lol

my butcher used to use them but isn't allowed to now, the same as all butchers. Just call up the environmental health and ask them if wooden chopping boards are allowed in a commercial property.

Glad my first deal made it to the magic number of 666 degrees! Also the comments have made a fascinating read of the intense rivalry between wood and plastic! This is a better rivalry than leasing v buying cars :joy: :joy: :joy:

Good price but remember wood chopping boards are always better. They are naturally antibacterial and don't start getting knife grooves where bacteria can thrive. On wooden chopping boards bacteria eventually dies off.

I have both, the Joseph Joseph large set and wooden chopping boards. There is no way that I would use the same wooden chopping board for fish, veg, meat, sandwich making etc as thats really asking for trouble. I use the joseph joseph ones as colour coded and use a wooden one day to day for sandwich making, toast etc

I must be one of the lucky ones. I've survived for years on a couple of wooden chopping boards used for everthing :grin:

Not really your actually asking for trouble using plastic as it's been proven and studied that a multitude of bacteria including salmonella thrives and survives on plastic yet dies on wood. So not sure how using wooden chopping boards is asking for trouble?!

Each to their own, I have studied and worked in the food industry and there is a reason that wooden chopping boards are not allowed. In fact I have worked where there was a wooden chopping board and when we had the environmental health check, they issued a warning and destroyed it.

Human beings have been using wooden chopping boards for centuries and we're still around. Don't think they did much harm - unless someone whacked you really hard with one :skull_crossbones:

True and until the early 20th century wooden dentures were used.
Never change! :joy:

There is a reason they are banned in food premises but each to their own . Bit of a mute point that we have used them for centuries and we're still around though, you could say the same about smoking

Are you literally making things up? Has anyone else heard of a ban on wooden chopping boards lol. It's not each to their own actually that's about the silliest thing you could say. It's factual and there is conclusive evidence and studies saying wooden chopping boards are much better against bacteria and none saying plastic are, so I'm wondering if you are what they call a troll!

Seriously though..
I remember years ago on "How Clean Is Your House?" they talked about bacteria samples found on chopping boards and how wood harboured less bacterial than plastic..
Not sure where they drew that information haven't looked into it any further !
My chopping board is shatterproof glass should be better than wood or plastic :sunglasses:

Bought this last time it was on offer on Amazon - ended up returning it SIX TIMES before we got one where the case wasn't split or damaged so give them a thorough check over when they arrive.

I bought the item below from Amazon in November 2011 for £14.70 - which is the best price I've seen.
Why am I missing the plot on these - sure they look nice but £20 for 4 rectangles of plastic ? is it just that they look cute or is there something else I am misunderstanding ?

They are colour coded for each food type. If they are like the older ones they also have rubber corner pads so they don't slip.

They get knife marks pretty easily and you can't wash them off returned mine because it's not worth the money and for this price these don't have the longevity

Don't understand the popularity of this stuff. Soft plastic that cuts into far too easily. Other kitchen implements in the range melt far too easily if left near a heat source. Marketing hype wins!

Yeah, but they look nice.

I like them - but can you teach my husband to use the right one? He has no idea why I get angry about it! :cry:

It's a good price but a quick search reveals a few companies selling this for between £23-26 . I wish Amazon would stop showing very old retail prices to make it appear you're saving more

It's true they do mark up with knives pretty easily but after the first few uses you stop caring to be honest!
