Re: What kind of cutting board do you use??

I use plastic ones. I have one for meat, poultry and fish, and another for vegetables. I have a much larger one that has a well around the edges for carving roasts and stuff. I've gotten them at Ikea, and the big one came from Target. I tried using a wood butcher block for a while but I just couldn't keep up with the maintenance (oiling, etc) on it, so went back to the plastic.

ditto - i use thin flexible ones for meat and thicker ones for every day, they are all dishwasher safe and so easy to use.

I use glass

Easy to clean, can't really scratch it and no juices from meat, veggies, etc..can get into the groves like a wood or plastic one.

I used to have the colored plastic ones for meat, fish, etc.

They got really scratched up. With all of the talk about plastics and leaching I switched to glass. I can always sharpen my knives.

You can always sharpen the knife. It's better then having bacteria left behind on the board IMO.
