I listened to an episode of Sliced Bread on BBC Sounds where this was discussed with some experts and the conclusion was wooden ones are the best. Just give them a good scrub immediately after use.

I have never used plastic boards, I have a wooden one bought from Lakeland many years ago. Wash it by hand.
Also have a glass worktop saver which gets used if extra space needed.

I use a glass worktop saver. I don’t however put it in the dishwasher but it doesn’t take long to clean it by hand. They also come with various decorative patterns.

Same here.

I have a bamboo set of 3 I don’t put them in the dishwasher I scrub them in hot water and better than plastic.

I have never used a plastic chopping board. I still use wooden ones as I have done all my life. I’m not dead, neither has my food preparation killed anyone. Or made them ill.

I also value sharp knives. Glass and metal boards destroy them.

I use wooden ones but as I don’t have a dishwasher I can’t give a recommendation.

Mine are heavily scratched now and I am worried about the microplastics I am ingesting shock

What’s everyone using instead of plastic chopping boards? Preferably dishwasher safe please?!
Obviously there are loads to choose on Amazon, but I would prefer recommendations please wink
