I. Classification of chopping boards

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

second, what's the difference between chopping boards made of different materials

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

Wood chopping boards have high density and strong toughness, and they are very firm to use. However, because there are many kinds of wood chopping boards, it is not easy to choose. Some wood chopping boards (such as Ubuntu) contain toxic substances and have an odor, which will pollute dishes and easily cause vomiting, abdominal pain and dizziness. There are also some loose wood cutting boards, such as poplar cutting boards, which are not hard enough and easy to crack, and their surfaces are prone to knife marks. If they are not thoroughly cleaned, it is easy to shelter evil people from evil practices, breed bacteria and pollute food. Therefore, it is suggested that the public should choose cutting boards made of beech, ginkgo, acacia, birch or willow with good comprehensive quality in all aspects. The public should not buy three chopping boards in the hands of small vendors, and the chopping boards produced by regular manufacturers will be marked with wood. Before buying, it's best to smell the cutting board. If it smells sour, it is likely to contain sulfur, so don't buy it. There are also some wooden cutting boards sold by small vendors, which are white compared with ordinary wood. In order to reduce costs, the cutting boards produced by these small workshops all use inferior wood, which looks darker. In order to whiten the cutting boards, sulfur fumigation and bleaching are usually used, and the residual sulfur dioxide will seriously endanger human health.

Bamboo chopping board 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 wood chopping board, and its thickness is not enough, so it is mostly spliced, so it can't be pounded when it is used. In the market, a small number of board faces are made of whole bamboo. This kind of chopping board does not use chemical reagents, and it is not easy to crack, but the price is slightly higher, which 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. When buying, pay attention to look and touch with your hands. Some plastic cutting boards with rough texture are easy to cut out slag foam, which will enter the human body with food, causing damage to the liver and kidneys. Some plastic cutting boards with dark color are mostly made of waste plastics, which have more harmful substances. Therefore, it is best to choose plastic cutting boards with translucent color, good quality, uniform color and no impurities and pungent smell.

In restaurants or hotels, chopping boards are also called a job, which is responsible for cutting food, and some are also called chopping blocks. The above is a brief introduction about the chopping block, hoping to help everyone.
