How many cutting board do you regularly use?

[Draznnl]

Someone who shall remain anonymous thinks I’m more than a tad overly obsessive because I regularly use four cutting boards: one for breads; one for vegetables; one for raw meats; and one for cooked meats. I’m not talking about little cheeseboards, purely decorative boards, or that special board that only gets used on holidays when the family is over. How many cutting boards do you regularly use?

[AdequateEatin]

Definitely four for me as well. One for spices (nobody wants a watermelon to taste like garlic), one for raw meat and one for cooked meat and the last is a catch all for everything else.

Color coded and everything!



Plus and oversized wooden carving board with a juice channel in it.

[Jim White]

White one is all purpose, green fruits and veggies, yellow poultry, blue fish, red raw meat and brown cooked meat. Apparently that is how some commercial kitchens roll.

[SheilaAnn]

Jim White you are a treasure! You are not wrong regarding commercial kitchens. Does this hold true for all restaurants? No. Please consult your local health department for their rules.

That said, this is an excellent guideline.

[Bkhuna]

You have a seperate board for Bluefish? That is a little obsessive.

Also use disposable for prepping meats.

I have a boos cutting board that I use daily and a small one if I don't want to dirty the boos.

3. I have a large plastic one for brisket/rib/loin trimming. A nice wooden large one for slicing, serving & presenting. And a small one for lemons & limes for cocktails and similar fruits/veggies.

As odd as it probably sounds coming from someone who loves to make cutting boards, I have 5 plastic boards in rotation.

I do have a nice wooden board, but it is larger than I like, and seldom gets used.

[smokenoob]

I have 3 in the house and somehow about 6 in the RV 🙄, I guess that’s where the go before they go to the work shop (where there are 2).

[CaptainMike]

RV's tend to be as bad as junk drawers for accumulating crap.

[smokenoob]

CaptainMike Yup, have to regularly purge the RV junk drawer too!

[Attjack]

Definitely more than 8.

[DavidNorcross]

Use 4 fairly often. One for meat, one for serving, one for bread and one for chopping and slicing.

[acorgihouse]

Five and a half. Two large, two small plastic ones I use every day. If I'm cutting more than one thing, I'll cut on one side, flip over and use the other side, and they all go into the dishwasher right after using. One large wooden one that is thick and heavy, but nice to use for display/serving things like cheeses and veggies. It also makes a perfectly sized heat buffer between my granite countertop and the sous vide vat. I also have a wooden pizza peel that can double as a cutting board if need be.

I use three all the time, raw meat, cooked meat, and no gluten. Wife has a forth for bread, etc that stays separate from the others.

[Red Man]

I use disposable cutting boards for raw meat. Besides that I either use the big one or the small one based on need.

[Oakgrovebacon]

In addition to cutting boards I have a wall mounted roll of freezer paper that is 18” wide, PCs of it are used on the meat slicer catch tray and on counters to get prepped meat to take out to cook
