What should I do if the bamboo chopping block cracks and tilts?

Try nailing a piece on the upturned corner and consider replacing it with a new one.

A good bamboo chopping block needs careful maintenance. Proper handling can ensure food hygiene and prolong the life of cutting board.

1, maintenance: the newly bought bamboo chopping block can be used after unpacking and normal cleaning. In order to prolong the service life of the round bamboo chopping block, the board surface must be kept wet and used alternately on both sides. If the board is loose, it can be soaked in warm water 1- 10 minutes according to the situation. Do not soak for too long or boil in water. It is best to hang the chopping block in a ventilated place after use.

2, chopping block classification: in order to avoid cross-infection, bamboo chopping block can cut raw food and cooked food at the same time. After each food is processed, it should be thoroughly cleaned immediately before cutting the next food. If you cut meat, wash it with warm water.

If you want to prevent the chopping block from cracking, you should oil it immediately after buying a new chopping block. The practice is: apply oil on the upper and lower sides and around the chopping block, and then apply it three or four times after absorbing the oil.

The cutting board is easy to crack around, so you can brush it several times repeatedly and use it after the oil is dry. After this treatment, the chopping block is not easy to crack. Because oil is highly permeable and nonvolatile, it can moisten wood for a long time and prevent the chopping block from bursting. Oiling also has anti-corrosion function, so the chopping block is durable.

4. Don't use detergent to clean, because the cleaning liquid will penetrate into the chopping block, which will lead to moldy chopping block for a long time, and it is quite unsanitary to use it to treat food.

5. If the chopping block has been treated with heavy oil, it can be scrubbed with hot water to remove oil quickly. Remember not to use a pot brush. )

6. Be careful not to put the chopping block in direct sunlight to avoid excessive drying and cracking of the chopping block.
