1. What is the cutting board made of?

1, 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.

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.

Solid wood chopping block is a common chopping block, and I also have a solid wood chopping block. Really super cut-resistant! ! It is really 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).

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.

5, tempered glass chopping block

Tempered glass chopping boards are also very common now, because they are easy to wash, antibacterial, slag-free and cheap. However, they are only suitable for families that make complementary food for babies. They are fragile and not resistant to cutting, especially knives. When cutting, they will make an abnormal noise. They can only cut some fruits, vegetables and bread, and the special board is special. Although sanitary, it is not very practical.

Second, how can the cutting board not be moldy?

1, first cut off a large piece of plastic wrap, spread it flat on the table, pour a small amount of cooking oil, spread it with oil, and put it on a clean and dry wooden chopping board.

2. Then pour a few drops of oil on the front of the cutting board, wrap the whole cutting board with plastic wrap, and gently press it so that both sides of the cutting board are immersed in the oil.

3. In order to make the cutting board absorb oil faster, you can use a hair dryer to blow it back and forth several times to accelerate the penetration and drying of oil. If time permits, you can wrap it for a while, so that the natural drying effect of edible oil is better. Tear off the plastic wrap, rinse the chopping board with clear water and dry it.

4, wood wrapped in oil, not only can make it stronger, not easy to dry, but also will not be moldy and bacteria. It can be cured once every three months, prolonging the service life.
