Do you use bamboo board?

We use them in the barbecue comp trailer and those are very important points
as in a motorhome. We still carry a big sheet of poly board but it's such a
pain to clean that we just drop it into the commercial style sink (it's been
cut to fit) wrapped with some plastic tablecloth, just to have a stable
elevated place to prep a lot of meat without setting up a table outside.
Then we lay the silicone sheets on top and cut away. Cleanup time has been
cut to about a quarter what it used to be.

And another nice thing is you can tote it around and even fold it easily
with food on it to be dumped into a pot or pan after cutting, or transfer
food to a presentation prep area. And you don't have to worry about cleaning
your board in between ingredients, for example, if you just prepped some
chicken, you can just toss the silicone into the sink and get a fresh one to
prep the salad. Right now there are nine or ten of them in my kitchen.

They are just right for a dishwasher. You can bend them a bit to fit them
where you want but they don't flop over other stuff. And they aren't hard to
clean even in the sink. They are silicone which is naturally nonstick.

What do you expect when the model goes cheap and has the new boobs put
under her skin instead of under her muscle? I see lots of celebrities
with that too. If they want to be super skinny AND have big boobs,
they need to spend a little more to do it right.

What I don't get is how they can stand sleeping on inflated plastic
boobs. It's hard enough sleeping on baby induced boobs.

I have one of those built-in boards. I pull it all the way out and
put it up on the counter. I like it simply because it is quite
large.

It's hard to use it just pulled out from under the counter because it
is not stable, it flops up and down. I do like it pulled out and put
on the counter. I use it when I'm doing big stuff like collard
greens where I need a larger cutting surface.

Well not in clothing, but nude they stick out like a sore thumb.

but so many bad boob jobs I've seen

Not sensual either... may as well be squeezing a blow up doll...
actually I find fake boobs a big turn off. I can only see them used
to repair a disfigurement... otherwise anyone's ego needs bigger tits
buy a padded bra. And equally repulsive are pierced nipples, blech!
I appreciate all sizes of breasts, just please do not mutilate them
with Tupperware implants.

Twice I've been confronted by women getting disrobed and thrusting
their fake boobs at me, and both times I was so reviled I quickly got
dressed and departed.

I have a smallish cutting board between my stovetop and ovens that I
think is indispensable because I can pull it out when I need more
counter space.

Even board without a moat keeps liquid contained to some degree
because the surface provides a little friction.

The floppy boards are not compatible with my cleaning technique. It's
much easier to scrub a stiff board. The sink is not formed correctly
nor sanitary enough to be able to clean those efficiently.

I am now wondering why the kitchen designer didn't suggest a
pullout cutting board. I did stop in at a semi-local kitchen
specialty shop, and they had some tiny cutting boards with moats.
I asked about larger ones, and I guess they do get them, but
they sell out quickly.

I have only used the floppy things twice, I think, because I, too,
find them awkward to clean. That is why I am thinking about
cutting one up and using it on my wooden cutting board when doing
chicken or something, but they still have to be cleaned.

That seems odd. Maybe the kitchen designer doesn't cook. Like I said
before, at the very least - they're a handy way to create more counter
space when you need it.


I have no idea why you would consider them awkward. Some are more
flexible than others. So you can bend them, so what? I consider that
a good feature and my sink is big enough to lay them down flat.


I've switched completely over to plastic boards and mats. I have a
couple sizes of thick cutting boards: large and larger, that I use as
a base and 6 flexible mats that I use on top. The flexible mats fit
easily in my sink to wash and they also stand up in the dishwasher if
I want to put them through a cycle.

I think they are really easy to clean. Being silicone, nothing sticks. Even
the big ones fit in the sink, but I only rinse them and put them in the
dishwasher. I put them around the edges of the dishwasher bottom tray. If
necessary they can even bend around the corners of the tray. They come out
perfectly clean every time. It's the big thick heavy poly cutting boards
that I find to be unwieldy in the sink and hard to find a place for in the
dishwasher.

I still haven't bought them even once. I heard they weren't easy to
clean, then someone (maybe in this thread) said she puts them in the
dishwasher. I thought they were floppier than that.
