Thanks for responding! I've been doing some reading since I posted this question and I was probably overthinking the issue a bit! These days I use a wooden board for most things except raw meat for which I use plastic. It's working out fine!

Hello! I've promised myself I wouldn't buy any new kitchen equipment until I'm able to afford getting MC, but I really want to practice my knife skills and all I've got is a lousy plastic cutting board from IKEA. I know there's plenty of advice elsewhere about how to choose a cutting board, but I want to know not just what kind of board to invest in, but why. So my question is, what do I need to take into consideration before buying a cutting board? Types of wood, treatment, size, etc? Does MC cover this question in-depth or should I look to other sources to make an informed decision? Thanks for reading.
