I use wood only for my non-stick pans. Metal for the metal pans. I sometime put some olive oil on the utensils, but generally, I just use them, put them in the dishwasher, repeat, until they break. They are ~50 cents at Ikea. And so I don't eat any plastics anymore.

Of course, the article is about high end stuff, but I just want to put everything in the dishwasher. Which I presume you can't do with even the best coated high end utensils?

We also switched to wooden Cutting boards, I find them to be pretty annoying as they really go bad fast in the dishwasher and can be quite expensive. We just wash them with boiling water, a bit of soap every now and then.

Seems a little extreme to pour boiling water on wooden cutting boards to clean? Do you live in really cold and snowy place without much access to sunlight hours? Just washing them with soap and drying them in sunlight is all we do and it’s been good. We also don’t cut meat on the wooden board. I would use hot water if it were meat on the board.

Never put a wooden cutting board in the dish washer.

Never use boiling water. Use warm water and a little bit of soap.
