1. What's the best cutting board

1. Bamboo cutting boards

There are actually two kinds of bamboo cutting boards, one is the common splicing cutting board, in which bamboo pieces are spliced together with glue; There is also a whole bamboo cutting board that is not very different in fact. Bamboo is spread out as a panel material, and actually a processing of bamboo fiber is used as a cutting board.

Advantages: bamboo fiber is tough and hard after processing, so it is chop-resistant, chop-resistant, easy to clean, and it is not easy to get moldy and smell

Disadvantages: inferior cutting boards are easy to crack and deform; The ingredients are quite slippery; Although it is not very absorbent, bacteria are still easy to breed, and it is harmful to the cutting edge of the tool and unfriendly to the tool. For example, the knives of Nissan VG1, Anlai Steel and powder steel should avoid using bamboo chopping boards.

2. Wood chopping board

Wood chopping board is also a very common type, among which the common one is the kind of "tree chopping block" seen by the butcher in the vegetable market, which basically means directly treating a log a little, so the quality of the wood itself is very important.

Advantages: high performance-to-price ratio, good durability, easy tossing, passable protection of the blade, and comfortable feeling of cutting things. Generally speaking, it is better than bamboo chopping board.

Disadvantages: heavy, heavy for sister paper; The change of humidity is easy to crack, so some need a ring of steel hoop on the outside; As easy to breed bacteria, always use boiling water to scald; Moreover, because the knife cuts parallel to the wood fiber, it is easy to drop sawdust, which is not recommended.

3. Synthetic chopping boards

There are basically two kinds of chopping boards, one of which is plant fiber synthetic material, domestic rice husk chopping boards and foreign favorite wood fiber chopping boards, which generally have some antibacterial ability.

Advantages: it is not easy to chip off, the food is not easy to slip, it is not easy to get dirty, it is not easy to get moldy, it does not absorb water, and it is also good for knife alignment. It is very good for basic daily use.

Disadvantages: firstly, it's expensive, and secondly, it's not suitable for swearing. Don't toss this thing about chopping ribs, but it's still very suitable for daily use.

the second kind is a fully artificial synthetic material.

The low end is a PE plastic plate, which does not hurt the knife. Some of them are not easy to slip, mildew or absorb water after treatment, but the wear resistance is not good, and it is easy to fall off chips. If it is not specifically stated that there are antibacterial ingredients, it is also easy to breed bacteria, such as IKEA plastic cutting boards, which is not very recommended.

4. Other categories

This category is basically a glass cutting board.

advantages: it is hard enough, free from crumbs and odor, with many patterns, beautiful appearance and wear resistance, and it is very easy to clean.

Disadvantages: fragile, unable to chop bones, and very, very painful.

2. Tips

If vegetables, fruits and fish are the main food, and you are vegetarian, then choose high-end imported synthetic chopping boards (including that classified chopping board). Imported wood fiber chopping boards are the best choice, which are not easy to smell, clean, and do not absorb water, and are more friendly to good knives, but the price is also touching (the average size is about 4, which is larger)

If you often chop a boiled chicken, make a tube of bone soup and chop a sparerib, then it is definitely right to choose an alder chopping board, or a better whole bamboo chopping board, but remember to choose the one with longitudinal stripes as far as possible, which is not so easy to chip off. Moreover, many solid wood chopping boards in Taobao are artificially dyed, which is not reassuring and difficult to choose. Please be careful when buying these two kinds of chopping boards.

Third, drug disinfection. Now there are many disinfectants used in the kitchen, and the effect is very good. Convenient and quick to use.

fourthly, the kitchen should be ventilated at ordinary times, and the chopping board should be hung in a ventilated place to avoid dark and damp breeding bacteria.
