You're a paranoid nut.

Yes, you need to wash the cutting board to avoid cross-contamination but once you've washed it there is no problem.

The color coded boards are for use in restaurants where there are many people working in the kitchen at one time so it may not be obvious who cut what on the board before you. But at home you know what you cut on the board so if contamination is a concern then you wash it.

>>still gonna be getting some salmonella on that bread.
Salmonella is on EVERYTHING anon.

>>wooden board
Wood is good for cutting boards because it has natural antibacterial properties. Google it.

The basic trade-off is that wood boards have natural bacterial resistance, but you cannot run them in the dishwasher. Plastic boards are convenient because they are dishwasher safe but plastic lacks the antibacterial properties of wood.

I generally just lay down some foil and use my counter

So which is it that you hate and are trying to fuck up? Your knife or your counter?

I was looking at that same cutting board on amazon but a lot of the reviews say it's pretty poorly made.

I ended up getting two different colored poly boards and am happy.

I have three cutting boards. Why have only one?

>Wood is good for cutting boards because it has natural antibacterial properties.

Not OP, but related question.

Does bamboo have similar anti-bacterial properties to wood?

>>6662486

I am not aware of a study that compared bamboo vs. wood vs. plastic. But that said, bamboo has the same physical properties that a wood cutting board has so I would think that it would have similar antibacterial properties.

Though honestly this is nitpicking and worrying about minutiae. Just wash your board after cutting raw meat/poultry/etc on it and you're fine.

>>6662378
Do you have any other top tips anon?

On a related note, any way to remove smell from a wood cutting board ?

Everything I cut on mine smells like garlic and oignons afterwards.

>>6662530
flip it over after cutting the garlic
rinse with vinegar

This is the most authoritative source I've found on wood vs. plastic vs. glass cutting boards - enjoy.

I understand your concern, OP, especially if you don't live alone, but that is honestly the most restarted cutting board I've (not literally) ever seen.

Just get separate boards for whatever you want to keep separate. Using a plastic ikea cutting board would look less retarded than your pic. What the fuck do you do when you need to prep multiple ingredients?

Honestly it's paranoid fucks like you that get sick the most since your sheltered life makes you immunocompromised. It's people who were never too worried about getting sick from food that rarely get sick from food.

>What the fuck do you do when you need to prep multiple ingredients?
I'd imagine just take the plastic cover off carefully with the food still on it then put the next required mat on the block.

I agree with you, I'm not normally paranoid with germs and shit. It's just when it comes to food cross contamination, I've seen people handle raw chicken breast and then eat a sandwich without washing their hands. The thought alone makes me heave.

>>6662384
Is that a real bun bun?

>>6662553
What about bamboo cutting boards?

>>6662530
Have you tried buying a new one?

Or you just use two cutting boards. One meat, one for other shit.

>>6662553
Thanks, i am looking for something linke this Sonde a long time

>>6662757
No it is a chocolate bun bun

Ironically plastic is more dangerous and difficult to clean since the wood fibres "heal" together with care but the nicks and scars from your knife are permanent in plastic and those little microbial hidey holes are cruicibles of disease

people actually believe this

Enjoy your shitty immune system bubble boy

>>6663191
living in streets of shit with no medical care spread disease like wildfire, but people have been eating food that would be considered unsafe now for thousands of years

>>6662369
I have those simply because I don't like washing my cutting board every time I cut up some meat or anything that makes a mess (tomatoes comes to mind). It's easier to just cut shit on those and put them in the dishwasher than it is to clean my cutting board all the time.

I'm not a clean freak, just lazy.

>>6663272
I just have like a dozen cutting boards. It's not like they're expensive.

>>6663592
Storing a dozen cutting boards sounds like a hassle.

>>6663734
What? One cutting board goes in the storage space inside the counter, and the other 11 go on top of it.

>>6662387
I bet the foil has a pretty rough time too.

>>6663262
>people have been eating food that would be considered unsafe now for thousands of years
And what was the life expectancy of someone living a thousand years ago?

>>6663191
Your immune system is like any other system in your body; it gets better with continued use and care. So long as your nutrition is good, exposure to low levels of pathogens helps your immune system to develop resistances to illnesses, and makes you less likely to be sick.

Eat good food. Don't fret over whether or not it's cooked properly 100% of the time, and for god's sake don't eat well done steak. Worst case scenario is you shit liquid for 3 days and get better. Best case scenario is you eat some really good food, and because you're not a pussy you survive.

60-80 if you get past infant mortality and constant wars and raiding

I just have different cutting boards (and knives) for meat and veg products to avoid any contamination

So... it's fine to use one wooden board for all?
