Chopping boards can be divided into plastic chopping boards, wooden chopping boards, bamboo chopping boards and tempered glass chopping boards according to different materials.

Second, what is the difference between chopping boards made of different materials?

Cutting boards made of different materials have their own characteristics, but wooden cutting boards are relatively safer because they are natural and have no other substances added. Therefore, it is recommended that citizens give priority to using natural wooden chopping boards.

The wooden chopping block has high density and strong toughness, and it is very firm to use. However, it is not easy to choose wooden chopping boards because of their various types. Some wooden chopping boards (such as Ubuntu) contain toxic substances and have an odor. Cutting vegetables with them will pollute the dishes and easily cause vomiting, abdominal pain and dizziness. There are also some loose wooden cutting boards, such as poplar cutting boards, which are not hard enough, easy to crack and prone to knife marks on the surface. If it is not thoroughly cleaned, it is easy to shelter evil people from evil practices, breed bacteria and pollute food. Therefore, citizens are advised to choose cutting boards made of beech, ginkgo, acacia, birch or willow with good comprehensive quality. The public should not buy the three chopping boards in the hands of vendors, and the chopping boards produced by regular manufacturers will be marked with wood. You'd better smell the chopping block before you buy it. If it smells sour, it probably contains sulfur. Don't buy it. There are also some wooden chopping boards sold by vendors, which are white compared with ordinary wood. In order to reduce the cost, the chopping boards produced by these small workshops are made of inferior wood, which looks darker. In order to whiten the chopping block, sulfur fumigation and bleaching are usually used, and the residual sulfur dioxide will seriously harm human health.

Bamboo chopping block is slightly lighter than wood, so it is not easy to fake, its quality is relatively stable and it is safer to use. However, its density is not as good as that of wooden chopping boards, and its thickness is not enough. Most of them are spliced and cannot be struck hard when used. A small number of board faces in the market are all bamboo. This kind of chopping board does not use chemical reagents and is not easy to crack, but its price is slightly higher, so it is a new choice for health and environmental protection.

Although the plastic cutting board is light in weight and convenient to carry, it is easy to deform. Pay attention to it when you buy it, and touch it with your hands. Some plastic cutting boards with rough texture are easy to cut slag foam, which will enter the human body with food and cause damage to the liver and kidneys. Some dark plastic cutting boards are mostly made of waste plastics, and there are many harmful substances. Therefore, it is best to choose a plastic cutting board with translucent color, good quality, uniform color and no impurities and pungent smell.
