I'm with you, there, Goomba. I don't own any plastic cutting boards.
Aren't they bad for knives? And I'm with Om, too. I just wash off the
wooden cutting board (I use a totally separate one for bread than I do
meats). Unless you let the wood get soaked they don't warp, split or crack.
It's worked for generations and works for me.
