    I’ve been trying to move away from plastics for a while now and honestly didn’t even realize I was using a plastic cutting board. How are you supposed to clean wooden ones that you cut raw chicken on?

        Id rather eat micro plastics than sand and oil a cutting board.

      A tempered glass cutting board would be a good alternative. Definitely more fragile than wood, but non-porous and dishwasher safe.

        That seems like it would dull kitchen knives very quickly
