Use Plastic Placemats For Cutting Board

RE: Use Plastic Placemats For Cutting Board Post By Chris (Guest Post) (10/24/2007) Glass cutting boards will dull your knives. I always purchased inexpensive cutting boards, so I finally invested in a cutting board from Cutco which has a lifetime guarantee. They are great; a bit expensive but worth it.

It is very difficult to get it clean properly when scratched, unless you soak it in bleach to kill the nasties. Glass boards are a breeze to clean as they do not scratch, so the risk of food poisoning is greatly reduced. You would be better off helping reduce landfill by paying a few dollars for a toughened glass cutting board, and this will save on replacement costs as well.

I would be concerned about the paint on placemats not being food safe for raw foods.
