Giveaway Friday: Impaling Instruments Necessitate Inhibitors (Cutting Boards)
Before we get to this week’s Giveaway Friday, congratulations go out to Patricia McCormick, who, according to Random.org, won our giveaway last week for Carrie’s Masala Chai!
Now on to this week’s giveaway…
Traveling as much as we have, we have prepared food in a wide variety of kitchens around the world.
We have also done a LOT of chopping of fruits, veggies, bread, meat, etc.
We’ve also used a variety of cutting boards.
Wood cutting boards:
Good for chopping, but unless you only use them for slicing bread, wood cutting boards are prone to absorbing the juices of whatever you’re cutting. Bacteria can be attracted and grow in the spaces in the wood, and over time you can actually be adding bacteria to your food, simply by using wood as your cutting surface.
If you rinse your wood cutting board with soap and water, it can become quite difficult to get all the soap out, which can leave your next meal tasting a bit soapy.
Glass cutting boards:
Jonathan actually likes them, but the sound of chopping on a glass cutting board hurts Carrie’s sensitive ears.
Marble/stone cutting boards:
Some of these are actually laced with naturally antibacterial materials like copper or silver, but we find that even with rubber foot pegs, they tend to slide around while you’re cutting on them. They can also be heavy, expensive, and discolor over time. Then what do you do with a chunk of discolored polished marble?
Plastic cutting boards:
Depending on what type of plastic they are made from, plastic cutting boards can be re-used for a variety of purposes. They also stay in place when you chop on them, are light to carry, and can be thrown into the recycle bin when they discolor or become overused.
Of the four cutting board types we’ve mentioned, we obviously recommend plastic cutting boards (followed secondarily by stone cutting boards).
Today’s giveaway is for a cutting board from Progressive International.
Check this out! This 11-1/4-inch by 17-1/4-inch cutting board has a drip tray around the outside and really works well for cutting pretty much anything.
To be entered to win this cutting board, all you have to do is follow the instructions below.
Step 1:
Like this giveaway on Facebook, +1 it on Google, or Tweet it on Twitter.
Step 2:
Visit Progressive International’s Facebook page, and see what they have on offer. Then come back and in your comment, say what kind of food you most enjoy chopping, cutting, or eating.
Make sure to include a good email address in your comment so we can contact you when you win!

I like to chop up zucchini to eat!
I have a large cutting board (such as the one pictured here) with grooves around the edges that I love using for chopping most things… meat, onions (you need a big board so the onion doesn’t scatter all over the counter), any other veggies. I have a wood cutting board that I hardly use because I can’t put it in the dishwasher; I slice bread on it, sometimes vegetables, but little else.
Hey Bonnie!

I’d use it at work, cooking all you can eat barbecues for whitewater rafters on the side of the river all summer! If you’re ever in Portland, find BlueSkyRafting!

I prefer small cutting boards for chopping veggies, but could us a big one like this Progressive Int. to cut up meet. I have a big, plastic one, but for whatever reason, it is worped and bulges in the center. This means everything runs to the edges and over the drip-line sometimes! It also takes up more space when storing it. Thanks strive4impact running this fun give-away!
