In the kitchen, the cutting board is the knife's best friend. I'll tell you right away, so you don't waste time: I'm on the WOOD team. I tolerate plastic "when necessary," but steel... no thanks. My heart truly sinks when I hear knife blades scrape against steel. Steel: nice and shiny, but not for cutting It looks professional, it makes a statement, but it's a trap for your knives: metal against metal dulls them quickly, forces you to sharpen more often, and ruins the pleasure of cutting. Plus, it's noisy and tends to be slippery. It's fine as a countertop or for kneading dough and pasta, not as a cutting board. Plastic: useful, but with a lot of "buts" At first it's convenient, but then the grooves appear: grease, odors, and residue get stuck there, and the cutting board becomes difficult to clean properly. With the blade scraping the surface, you can carry microplastics with you over time. Many plastics warp and yellow in the dishwasher. If you really want to use it, choose a thick one, perhaps dedicated to raw meats, and change it when it's heavily scratched. Wood: Kind to knives and "self-defense" Wood is just the right amount of softness: knives stay sharp longer and cut better. It's easy to wash with hot water and a drop of soap, and the crevices can be cleaned with a brush. The fibers absorb surface moisture and, as they dry, discourage bacteria; some woods (beech, maple, olive, oak) contain tannins and natural substances that help. It's not magic and it doesn't replace hygiene, but wood isn't the "villain" in this story—quite the opposite. Tip: Avoid varnished cutting boards. Bare, oiled wood is better (food-grade mineral oil or cutting board oil). Quick wood maintenance 1. Immediately after use: hot water + a drop of soap. 2. Brush along the grain to thoroughly clean the crevices. 3. Rinse and dry upright (on the short side) to allow air to circulate. 4. Every now and then: a drizzle of food-grade mineral oil, let it soak in, and then remove the excess. 5. Strong odors? Coarse salt + half a lemon, scrub for 5 minutes, rinse, and dry. 6. Never leave them soaking in the sink or in the dishwasher. What to buy • Wood: beech, maple, olive, or oak. • Size: large (at least 35 x 25 cm), thick, and with non-slip feet. • Organization: dedicate one side to raw food and one to cooked food; better yet, two separate cutting boards. Verdict Wood for life. It's natural, easy to clean, the cracks can be cleaned with a brush, and the material, by its very nature, lends itself to cleaning. Plastic only when needed and should be replaced often. Steel? Leave it on the countertops: save the knives!
