Question:

When I use a wood cutting board to chop onions, the smell and flavor of the onions stays in the board and transfers to everything else I cut on the board. How do I avoid this?

— Marcus Hammonds

Answer:

Well, you know, I think a couple of choices at least come to mind here and one would be to consider a separate cutting board for those stinky items those those alliums at your shopping and you know, another thing to consider might be a plastic or you know, some sort of a poly plastic sort of a cutting board which cleans maybe a little bit more easily than a natural fiber board. But on the other hand if you want to stick with the natural fiber board, then probably having another board specifically dedicated to these stinky items might be the way to go.
