We use four mats but not these. I got them at Safeway.  They have a fish shape or chicken, etc. in the middle.

 

That's a good idea. And they are cute, too! 

Another item we use to prevent cross-contamination are these:

I actually got mine at the now-deceased Linen-n-Things. You can get them

lots of places. I was mainly using the BB & B URL as an example of what

I was talking about. The nice thing is that because they are so thin, you

can store a number of them, and will always have one clean during a

cooking frenzy.

Thanks for all of the replies! Amelia, thanks. I don't mind the details. All of what you all have given me is helpful. I like the colored and/or shaped mat ideas, too.

I'll definitely wear gloves and will search for mats and get vinegar and/or oil of oregano to clean with.

Thanks again!

Take care.

That is exactly what a professional chef told me! That wood naturally had properties that were anti-bacterial in nature.AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 19 monthsLDN 3 mgTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Wed, February 10, 2010 4:27:12 PMSubject:

I read this ages ago, too, and have just kept my wood cutting boards.

Apparently the resins in wood (or something like that) are anti-bacterial

etc which makes wood the best.

And the most bacteria clung to plastic, not wood (as I had

already haerd some years ago and have never used a plastic cutting board since then).
