A great way to keep your cutting board hygienic
1. Separate raw and cooked food: Since there are many bacteria and parasite eggs on lettuce, the cutting board will inevitably be contaminated. If such a cutting board is used to cut cooked food, the cooked food will be contaminated. It is best to prepare two cutting boards.
2. Keep it clean: After the cutting board is used, use a hard board brush and clean water to wash off the dirt together with the sawdust. If there is fish, meat and other fishy smell, it can be washed with rice water or washing spirit dissolved in salt, and then washed with warm water. Do not scald with boiling water, because the protein in the meat remains on the cutting board and solidifies when heated, making it difficult to wash. Hang to dry after washing.
After the cutting board has been used for a period of time, the wood chips on the cutting board can be scraped with a kitchen knife, or the woodworking planer can be used to completely remove the dirt on the cutting board, and the cutting board can be kept flat and easy to use.
