I use these inexpensive cutting mats because they're good any surface, easy to wash and
great to transport chopped items to the stove. When they start to get too curly or cut up I just buy new ones.

I've tried 4 types of plastic. This is now the one I use. Or at least the material. It allows some
penetration by the knife the way wood does. The hard acrylic ones are death to knives. And I find these kinder than the flexible type, maybe not what Heather is indicating but the flexible ones that I've tried.
But the Epicurean one that you mentioned looks even better.
I like to be able to put these things into the dishwasher.

These are the ones I have been using and I too love them for transporting food to the pots etc.
However, using them on a granite service dulls your knives. I was told by the knife sharpener that you had to have wood to keep a good edge on your knives. I wonder if you can put these plastic things over wood and have the best of both worlds. I will ask him.

I use these too, but with a wood cutting board underneath
one thing about still having old cabinets is the pullout cutting board. I use mine every single day and love it. Why they went away I have no idea.
