Good wooden cutting board!!I read a research article about wood cutting board vs plastic and then decided to use only wooden cutting board:According to Rodale News, expert Dean O. Cliver, PhD from University of California, Davis, conducted research on the subject and found that wood cutting boards contained less salmonella bacteria than plastic. On wood cutting boards, the bacteria sank “down beneath the surface of the cutting board, where they didn’t multiply and eventually died off.” On plastic boards, however, bacteria got caught in knife grooves that were near impossible to clean out, whether the board was washed by hand or dishwasher. So while sparkling new plastic cutting boards might be easy to disinfect, any weathered plastic board will hold onto bacteria.If both wood and plastic are prone to bacteria if not properly cared for and replaced, it comes down to preference and longevity. We prefer a hard wood cutting board — like maple or beech wood — because it won’t scar as easily as plastic and you won’t have to replace it as often if you are diligent about upkeep. (Be sure to always wash and dry your board well, and also lightly rub it with mineral oil to prevent moisture and bacteria from seeping in.) Furthermore, not only will your wood board last, but it will also help your knives last, because hard wood boards won’t dull your blades as quickly as plastic boards will.I am not repeating the features of this cutting board which are already described in the description. But urge all of you to use only wood cutting board.Would you buy this Product again?: YES !!Would you recommend this product to others?: YESI received this Tyrellex Bamboo Cutting Board with Knife Sharpener and Juice Groove - Can Hang Dry at a discount price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
