The time has come to announce the
winners of Lancaster Farming’s
Dairy Recipe Drawing. This is a
bittersweet time. It’s wonderful to
tell those who won the prizes, but
difficult that we don’t have a prize
for everyone because so many of
you deserve a prize and have
wanted one, but there isn’t enough
to go around.
The winning names were picked
randomly by Pennsylvania Dairy

This does not mean the winners
had the best-tasting recipes
because we do not have the time
and facilities to taste-test them
(although I’m certain the winners
do have wonderful recipes). Even
if you did not win a prize, your
recipe is probably greatly prized
by someone’s family who had the
opportunity to try a new recipe
because you submitted it.
And, even if you did not win,
wasn’t it fun to find new recipes

Wooden Versus Plastic
Cutting Boards
For the past several years,
U.S.D.A. sanitarians have advised
food handlers, both at home and in
restaurants, to discard their old
wooden cutting boards and to use
glass or plastic ones instead. The
advantage of such non-abosrbent
materials is that they are non
porous, easier to clean and,
theoretically, easier to keep
bacteria-free. In practice, though,
University of Wisconsin scientists
have found that wooden boards
are much safer, so far as bacterial
growth is concerned. Even though
wood is more porous than plastic,
there is something in wood (possi
ble lignin?) that gets rid of bacteri
a very rapidly. Salmonella and
coliform bacteria (the most
common dangerous contamin
ants of poultry and meat) are
quickly reduced in number of
99.9 percent on wooden cutting
boards or old-fashioned wooden

butcher’s blocks. Scored and
scratched plastic or glass sur
faces, on the other hand, harbor
bacteria and permit them to
proliferate. Furthermore, the
Wisconsin researchers found,
glass cutting surfaces have the
additional disadvantage of intro
ducing minute glass particles into
our food. So, if you have an old
wooden cutting board, consider
putting it back into use. However,
until the Wisconsin research is
confirmed, food sanitarians will
likely continue recommending
plastic or glass cutting boards.
Incidentally, most commercially
available wooden cutting boards
are treated with mineral oil, etc.,
to render them smooth and shiny.
This makes the surface less
absorptive and more like that of
plastic. Time and wear should take
care of this.
