I’m a foodie and I keep seeing these. YIKES! The thought of metal on metal though…not so sure about THAT! But maybe I just don’t understand them yet.

I have numerous cutting boards in lots of different sizes. And I am picky about scrubbing them and keeping them sanitary and all of that stuff.

It will be fun to learn about the titanium ones, so I’m hopeful any of you who have them will chime in an educate us.
