The counter top is dirty with scratches and pieces of vegetables and meat stuck all over the place. Such unhygienic habits are very unhealthy. The counter top needs to be changed very often.
It might be far cheaper for you to get into the habit of using cutting board than to pay for replacing the entire kitchen counter slab. Just go ahead and buy the cutting board right away. Choose between wooden or plastic ones that suits you the best.
Professional chefs always prefer wooden boards and ensure they maintain it all the time, but then which one you wish to buy is purely your personal choice.
Wooden boards need to be cleaned and kept dry and sealed when not in use to avoid warping or cracking. Where as plastic can be used without any maintenance except that of washing. Glass is not an ideal option to use on daily basis for it is too hard a surface and doesn’t feel comfortable.
If you use a hard surface like glass board to cut vegetables, within no time your knives will become blunt and you will not be able to cut vegetables properly with the required finesse.
Which ever board you use, keeping it clean and disinfecting it on daily basis is a must. You do not have to buy a ready-made disinfectant from the market. You can use home remedy and mix little vinegar with water and rinse the board in this solution every day. The board will be clean and disinfected.
