The post 3 Things to Take Into Consideration Before Buying a Plastic Cutting Board appeared first on Cooking 4 All.
]]>Plastic cutting boards usually don’t have a very long life span—unless you opt for plastic of good quality. Boards made from high-density polyethylene are your best bet because they’re more resilient, but you should still be careful when using sharp knives on them.
Using a dishwasher to clean up your plastic board isn’t always the best idea, despite the fact they’re technically dishwasher-friendly. In addition to softening some plastics, using a dishwasher may lead to bacterial growth if your board has any grooves and scratches.
Despite the fact they’re affordable, plastic boards aren’t such a great investment since you’ll have to replace them often. As soon as grooves and scratches start to appear, it will be more difficult to clean and sanitize your board, and you’ll be forced to replace it.

]]>Old cutting boards that have cracks and deep scratches should be discarded because they’re hard to clean and can harbor harmful bacteria.
Using the same cutting board for all foods is a common mistake that should definitely be avoided. It’s best to have separate boards for meat and fresh produce because this way you’ll avoid transferring bacteria from raw meat or seafood to fresh foods such as veggies or cheese.
Make sure to secure your slippery cutting board with rubber grips in order to avoid potential injuries in the kitchen and make meal prep easier.
Whether you have plastic or wooden cutting boards, keep in mind that they shouldn’t go in the dishwasher. It’s always better and safer to hand-wash wash them instead.

]]>Washing your cutting board shouldn’t be a struggle, but scratches and water spots can make it difficult to clean. If you feel like you’re wasting more time than you should be trying to properly clean your cutting board, maybe it’s time to think of getting a new one.
The age of a cutting board isn’t necessarily measured by time, but by the damage it sustained. In addition to looking bad, worn-out cutting boards can be a breeding ground for bacteria, because the moisture will end up trapped in all the grooves and scratches on their surface.
Wooden cutting boards are more popular than plastic ones for a reason, and they have a much longer life-span. Once your wooden cutting board is no longer in such a great shape, you can still try saving it by sanding the surface, but that’s not the case with plastic models.

]]>Wooden utensils may look resilient, but putting them in a dishwasher or soaking them in water for a long time is the fastest way to ruin them. If you have a favorite cutting board and you want it to last many years, you need a more gentle approach.
Using a regular kitchen sponge, warm water, and dish soap is enough for daily washing. It will remove the food residue, smells, and discoloration. You can deep clean the board occasionally and oil it to keep it fresh.
If you’ve cut something watery on it, make sure to wash the cutting board as soon as possible. Washing and drying it before it soaks up a lot of moisture is crucial and it will only take a few minutes of your time. Lean it against something to dry instead of placing it flat.
