First, avoid food odor.
I wonder if your family has ever eaten "multi-flavored watermelon" in summer? Sweet watermelons are also mixed with garlic, onions, ham and even rags. Emma, whether you cut raw meat, cooked food or vegetables and fruits at home, you use the same cutting board and kitchen knife. It is inevitable that there will be problems of food tasting each other, which will greatly affect the taste! It's a bit embarrassing to eat such fruit when there are guests at home!
Second, avoid the disease from the mouth.
It is not healthy to treat cooked food with a chopping board kitchen knife that has cut raw meat. Most raw meat contains a lot of bacteria and parasites, which will pollute the chopping block. Cut the cooked food directly through the chopping board of raw meat, and those bacteria and parasites will be transferred to the cooked food. We usually eat cooked food directly, and the bacteria they are contaminated with will also enter our bodies. Long-term accumulation will lead to diseases such as gastroenteritis, diarrhea and even cancer.
Therefore, in order to reduce the chance of mouth-to-mouth disease, cutting boards at home must be used separately. According to the types of food we contact daily, a family should prepare at least three chopping boards: one for cutting raw food, one for cutting cooked food and one for cutting fruits and vegetables.
However, it is not easy to store the three wooden and bamboo chopping boards commonly used at home, and it is also very troublesome to clean them up. If the ventilation is not timely, it is easy to grow mold. Now many families have begun to use chopping block storage racks or chopping block sets with storage functions for the health, sanitation and neatness of kitchens. My Murphy chopping board has storage function, which can store all three chopping boards and three kitchen knives. The whole suit is actually very small, just put it in the corner of the kitchen, which takes up no space at all. In addition, what I personally like is that it also has the function of ultraviolet disinfection and bacteriostasis. I usually disinfect with a knife and chopping board, so I will feel more at ease when I use it next time.
Try not to be lucky in the classification of cutting boards, because you never know when the bacteria on the cutting board will be eaten in your mouth! For the sake of family and their own health, it is better to classify cutting boards, which is more secure!
