Shopping for the right cutting board can be a challenge.   There is still so much controversy surrounding the safety of wood over plastic. You will find convincing studies for both arguments.  So how do you choose?  Which study do you believe?

Notice I didn’t mention glass cutting boards.  I am not a fan. Knives can slip easier on the tempered glass, not to mention that annoying sound when the knife meets the glass surface.  You don’t have to worry about knife grooves, clean up is easy with a toss into the dishwasher and they can be used as a hot pad.  However, a huge disadvantage is that they have a tendency to dull and damage your knives quicker.
