What is used to clean the chopping board?

After the chopping block is used up, we use a hard brush and clean water to wash away the dirt together with the sawdust. If there is fishy smell of fish and meat, you can wash it with rice washing water or detergent dissolved in salt, and then wash it with warm water. Don't scald with boiling water, because the protein in the meat remains on the chopping board, which will solidify when heated, and it is not easy to clean. Stand up to dry after washing.

First, clean the surface and gap of the chopping block with a hard brush and clear water, and then rinse it with boiling hot water.

Note: Don't rinse with boiling water first, so that the protein in the meat will remain on the chopping board, which will solidify when heated, and it will not be easy to clean, and then stand up and rotate in the shade to dry.

Cut the chopping block of seafood or fish, sprinkle some vinegar on it, dry it in the sun, and then rinse it with clear water, so that there will be no fishy smell.

After each use of the chopping block, clean the residue on the board with a knife, and sprinkle a layer of salt on the board every 6-7 days, which can not only sterilize, but also prevent the chopping block from cracking.

Baking soda is alkaline and has strong decontamination ability, which can effectively remove the dirt on our chopping block. Prepare a proper amount of warm water, mix it with baking soda, then soak the chopping board in water, let it stand for one night, pick it up the next day and wipe it with a sponge, then wash it with clear water and dry it.

We usually use two kinds of chopping boards, but both kinds of chopping boards should be cleaned in the right way, which will prolong their service life. : 1, wooden chopping boards: wooden chopping boards include willow boards, pine boards, elm boards, etc. They are thick and tough, suitable for chopping meat or hard food. However, wooden chopping boards are generally heavy in weight, not easy to clean, strong in water absorption, not suitable for air drying, and easy to mold and breed bacteria in humid environment.

2. Bamboo cutting board: Bamboo cutting board is light and compact, but due to insufficient thickness, it is mostly spliced, and there will inevitably be adhesive bonding parts. Some unqualified chewing gum may release formaldehyde, and bamboo cutting boards often cannot withstand heavy blows when used. If you buy, try to choose regular brands and products with good environmental reputation.
