Since you’re going to wash it, anyway, what is the point of having separate boards for meat vs. other?

Wash with soapy water and dry. There's no need to sanitize after meat or anything else.


Mineral oil to condition new wood boards.
I just rinse mine with water and wipe dry. Never gotten sick. Have the same end grain wood board for 20 years and use it daily.
I don't do soap unless it's pretty dirty because soap will dry out the wood.

Agreed, they are more sanitary than plastic. Wood is a natural product with natural antimicrobial properties. Plastic is not. There were tests done comparing the two and there was more microbial growth on the plastic than the wood board.

Get a wood board with end grains up on the cutting surface. Not horizontal to the cutting surface.

I got a bamboo one from Amazon but it broke within a month. (I was putting it in the dishwasher which maybe was a bad idea).
How do you sanitize them if you’ve used them for things like garlic, onion, meat? Do you use a different one for garlic versus sweet things like apples?


Any will work. Don't overspend. Make one yourself if you want with some hardwood wood from Home Depot and some felt or rubber stick on pads to keep it from scooting on counter.

I have 2 John Boos cutting boards, one for meat and one for veg. I simply hand-wash after use.

I bought mine at ikea. Three is perfect, there is always one ready to go. I hand wash them with soap and water, then air dry. I don’t eat meat, so that’s not an issue.

I’m researching this too. Apparently microplastics get in from plastic ones. I think you just wash the wood ones with soap and water but are supposed to have one for meat and a separate one for fruit etc that you’re not cooking.
