Why do bakers use wooden tables instead of stainless steel?

Not all bakers use wooden tables. For restaurants and professional kitchens, many have installed stainless steel countertops for sanitary reasons. Professional kitchens are required to use surface sanitizers; this is usually a chlorine tablet dropped in a bucket of water, and then clean rags are used to wipe down the stainless counters. (However other more "green" surface sanitizers are also effective.) Many Health Inspectors will dock points from a restaurant's inspection if they find the restaurant is using wooden cutting boards: The reason being that wood boards have rough surfaces that harbour bacteria, and they are difficult to sanitize.

Some bakers use marble counters. Marble stays cold and keeps butter cool. That is helpful when you're kneading dough (like cookies for example) that contain lots of butter. Pastry chefs like marble boards because it keeps the dough cool. Granite counters are used in the home for the same reason.

The home baker can get away with using a wooden board if basic principles of sanitation are followed. It is best to use your wooden pastry board for one purpose only; do not cut meat on it. You want to avoid cross-contamination, and it is a good practice to have different boards for different things. Have a board for baking, another one for meat, another for poultry, another for vegetables, etc. You can sanitize your wooden board by washing it with warm soapy water and then letting it air dry. You may also wish to spray with a weak bleach solution, and allow the board to dry again before using.

Bakers always need to follow basic rules of food safety. Professional bakers usually chose a work surface that is easy to sanitize. Stainless steel is very easy to maintain.

Will soured milk 5months old hurt you if you bake a cake with it?

Yes, it most definitely can! Milk doesn't have a long shelf life, even though it's refrigerated. Once it's past the expiration date, it can be used in baking, but only if it's just a couple of days past the expiration date, and only if it's not gone bad. And even if the milk is slightly sour, it can still be used in baking. But that's only when it's recently past the expiration date, and only if it's slightly soured. But milk that is 5 months past the expiration date is dangerous and needs to be discarded - do NOT use in any way!
