Expand your knowledge: How to choose and buy household chopping boards

1. Choose materials

There are many kinds of chopping boards, which can be roughly divided into four types: plastic chopping boards, wooden chopping boards, bamboo chopping boards and glass chopping boards.

The wood chopping block has high density, strong toughness and firm use. However, due to the wide variety of wooden chopping boards, it is difficult to choose. Some wooden chopping boards (such as ebony) contain toxic substances and have an odor. Cutting vegetables will pollute dishes and easily cause vomiting, abdominal pain and dizziness. 。

The bamboo chopping block is made of solid material, which is not easy to crack and fall off. Dirt is not easy to get stuck in the gap, which is cleaner and more convenient to clean. However, bamboo chopping boards are not thick enough, and most of them are spliced, so they can't bear heavy blows when used, and are not suitable for cutting meat. They are mainly used for cutting vegetables or fruits.

Plastic chopping boards are easy to clean, but it is not recommended to handle hot food, because it is not resistant to high temperature, because hot food tends to deform the chopping board and is not suitable for handling greasy food. In addition, most of the materials of plastic chopping boards contain chemical additives, which may even cause cancer or damage liver and kidney after long-term use.

The glass cutting board is easy to clean, and can be directly washed with water after use, without mold; There is a non-slip design under the chopping block, which is not easy to move on the operating table; The cutting board will not ooze or absorb oil. It's good to cut fruit or make oil cakes.

2. Look at the size

The size should be moderate, and it is appropriate for families with 2 to 3 people to buy a diameter of about 28 cm; 4 to 5 people can buy about 32 cm.

3. Smell the smell

Before buying, you'd better smell the chopping block. If it smells bad, you'd better not buy it. Cutting vegetables with it will pollute the dishes and endanger human health.

4. Look at the weight

Generally speaking, the heavier the chopping board with a thickness of 5 to 6 cm, the better the quality. Too thin is not only not durable, but also easy to shake when used.

5. Choose a brand

Don't buy the "three noes" chopping boards in the hands of small vendors. Some small vendors sell bleached wooden chopping boards in order to reduce costs, which will seriously endanger human health. Therefore, they should choose chopping boards produced by regular manufacturers and brands.
