(1 for raw meats, 1 for cooked meats and 1 for cutting up vegetables and other things). I am able to put two of my cutting boards directly into my dishwasher for cleaning. My third cutting board wants to be hand cleaned after I use it and one of the finest methods of doing that is by using antibacterial liquid hand dishwashing soap and a damp sponge or microfiber cleaning cloth. Rinse your board thoroughly after cleaning.

You should never permit metal bakeware to air dry as that can cause pitting and rusting. Often towel dry with a soft absorbent cloth.
