I have used plastic boards for years. I have worn out a number of them. I
like the moderate sized ones, I can grab one, do my work and place it into
the dishwasher. I do not worry about the meat, onion and garlic smell, or
any other contamination as the dishwasher takes care of it. I do have one
very large, very old wooden board for the cooked turkey, roast, brisket,
fish, etc.. It makes a great presentation. I give it a good scrub and a
light sanding if needed.

Later,
