What are the different materials of kitchen chopping boards?

As an essential accessory in the kitchen, chopping block has many different choices when buying. So what are the different materials of the chopping block? Bian Xiao will explain it for everyone.

Common chopping block materials are as follows:

1, solid wood chopping block

Solid wood chopping block is a common one. It is more suitable for chopping meat, cutting bones and cutting some hard ingredients. Moreover, the solid wood chopping board is tough and thick, and it has a good sense of use, which is probably why hotel chefs love to use solid wood chopping boards (vegetable piers).

2, bamboo chopping block

Bamboo cutting boards are mostly made of bamboo blocks, which are lighter and more affordable than solid wood. But the thickness is not enough, it is easy to be moldy, not resistant to cutting, and it will jump slag and hurt the knife. Some merchants claim to use healthy adhesives, but there must be a board bonded with chemical reagents, which is not healthy enough. However, some of them are all bamboo, resistant to chopping, can be used to chop meat, do not use chemical adhesives, are not easy to crack, and are more environmentally friendly, but the price is a bit high.

3, plastic chopping block

Plastic chopping boards are light in weight, easy to wash and antibacterial, but easy to deform. There are mainly two kinds of materials: polyethylene PE and polypropylene PP. Generally, PP is more heat-resistant and harder than PE, and is more suitable for chopping boards. And choose a plastic chopping board with uniform color and no irritating smell and impurities. Some of the poor quality are easy to cut out slag foam and fade easily, which will cause damage to liver and kidney after food enters the human body.

4, rice husk chopping block

Rice husk chopping boards have only become popular in recent years. Because of its high density and hardness, this kind of chopping board generally has strong antibacterial ability. The real rice husk chopping board is made of rice husk, which will naturally degrade after being discarded, so it is more environmentally friendly. In addition, it is not easy to get dirty, nor easy to get moldy, and it does not drop slag and leave no knife marks. It is better to align the knife. If you just cut vegetables and fruits at ordinary times, it is still very good.
