Then again, what do I know? Obviously nothing about culinary arts...I have an oak cutting board and a maple cutting biard....pine is too soft and the knife marks would allow juices to seep into the wood...nasty.... Actually it's been shown that wood is an excellent material for cutting boards. Apparently the natural protective agents still present in the wood work to kill off bacteria. They are much more sterile than plastics. That's partially true, the tannins in some woods do have that effect. Do you like tannins in your reds Oz? I prefer very light oaks and lots of berry fruit myself. Cheers |
