I have several plastic cutting boards, use them once then right into the dishwasher on high heat and sanitizing rinse to keep them safe and ready to use again.

I use a bamboo or wood cutting board for all my fruits & vegetables.
I use a glass cutting board for raw meat to be cut on—which is rarely.
I bughht a new Santouko knife set by WP and they say not to use glass cuttung boards, since they will make the blades dull. -
I’ve been using tempered glass as a cutting board for years. This seems to be working quite well. I have a small wood cutting board given as a gift that I use for decoration only. I also have a plastic one but rarely use it. Most meats that I purchase don’t need any cutting. The cutting board is used mainly for vegetables and some fruits. I truly do not like cutting on wood for hygenic reasons. Can they ever truly be sanitary?
