Stanton Trading 15 by 20 by 1/2-Inch Cutting Board, White

It's not easy finding an HDPE cutting board! And this one comes in a few different sizes and colors. (Pay attention to that, because some sizes may not fit in your dishwasher (like this 15x20 version).

HDPE is not quite as soft on your knife as wood, but it's pretty easy on the knife. And it's certainly not as beautiful. But, while there seems to be some studies that show antimicrobial properties of some types of end-grain wood, you really need to have discipline and diligence to keep that highly porous surface sanitary.

And if you choose a composite like an Epicurean that you can put in the dishwasher, it's harder on the knife and some are manufactured with some nasty materials. Glass is without a doubt the best material from a health & ecological point of view, but it is also the worst on your knife.

And as an important aside, while wood can't go in the dishwasher and composite, acrylic and plastic can, that is somewhat of a red herring, as some dishwashers will not get hot enough to kill all microorganisms in what is likely a scarred surface. The truth is, if you are dealing with raw meats, you really just need to either spray/wipe OR soak in water with a little bleach and let air dry, then rinse. No matter the material.

Which brings me to plastic, if you have to sanitize with dilute bleach no matter the material, then you might as well use material that is both easy on your knife and that can place in the dishwasher. But most plastics will warp in the dishwasher. To avoid the warping you need high density polyethylene over just polyethylene. The former will hold up to heat while the latter will warp.

For me the pros:

+ Easy on your knives

+ Food grade material approved for use in commercial kitchens

+ Easy to clean and maintain for most jobs

+ Won't warp in the dishwasher

+ Not as bad for the environment as some composites

Outweigh the cons:

Not as good for the environment as using sustainable wood or glass

You need to watch for scarring over time and replace

It needs to be designed with a lip to catch overflow fluids

Overall, I would use this board for most jobs in the kitchen, unless you are a diligent and committed wood lover.

I had been looking for a nice white cutting board of this size for a while. I was not willing to overpay for one. This one was a great price and the board is of the highest quality. Order with confidence.

the board is plastic and the plastic isn't very hard. when I use the board I get deep slices into the plastic. Now I have a board with a lot of slice marks deep in the plastic. it also slides on the table when I am cutting some things.
