Chopping board is a common item in the kitchen, which is usually used when cutting vegetables. There are many kinds of chopping boards, among which plastic chopping boards and bamboo chopping boards are common, so which is better, plastic chopping boards or bamboo chopping boards? Let's take a look at the article with Xiaobian. By the way, let's talk about whether the plastic chopping board is good for human body and how to clean it. Let's take a look at it with interested friends.

Is the plastic chopping block good for human body

1. Is the plastic chopping block good for human body? Plastic chopping boards are not good for human body, but qualified and regular plastic chopping boards are not bad for human body.

2. Generally speaking, regular plastic chopping boards should be imported high-quality food-grade PP raw materials, the main components of which are polyethylene or polypropylene. When using materials, there are strict safety indicators and requirements. In principle, they are safe and nontoxic. However, some unscrupulous merchants will mix old raw materials into materials in order to pursue one-sided interests and reduce production costs, which may lead to the precipitation of chemical substances.

3. In order to achieve "durability" and "chop resistance", some merchants often add too much calcium carbonate and talcum powder as fillers, which will eventually affect the quality of plastic chopping boards.

4. Therefore, when consumers buy plastic chopping boards, they choose plastic chopping boards with translucent colors and uniform color distribution, without impurities and pungent odor. In addition, you should try not to use plastic chopping boards when cutting cooked food.

plastic chopping board is better than bamboo chopping board

1. Plastic chopping board

(1) Plastic chopping boards are mostly made of chemicals such as polypropylene and polyethylene, which are not suitable for cutting greasy food, otherwise it will be difficult to clean.

(2) Plastic cutting boards are not resistant to high temperature, and if hot food is cut on them, it will easily lead to deformation.

(3) Even some cutting boards contain plasticizers such as lead and cadmium, which may cause cancer if used for a long time;

(4) Plastic chopping boards with rough texture are easy to be cut into pieces, which enter the body with food and cause damage to the liver and kidney.

(5) Plastic chopping boards are prone to accumulate viruses and bacteria, and many kitchen chopping boards are hidden in unventilated cabinets, which has caused an attack on human health.

2, bamboo chopping block

Bamboo chopping block is not easy to fake, the quality is relatively stable, and it is safer to use, but its density is not as good as that of wooden chopping block, and its thickness is not enough, so it is mostly spliced, so it can't be pounded when it is used.

Regarding the question of whether the plastic chopping block is better or the bamboo chopping block, Xiao Bian suggested that the bamboo chopping block or the wooden chopping block should be chosen instead of the plastic chopping block if conditions permit.

how to clean the plastic cutting board

how to clean the plastic cutting board? There are many kinds of cleaning for plastic chopping boards, such as hot water cleaning, 84 disinfectant cleaning and salt cleaning. The following are specific cleaning instructions.

1, 84 disinfectant cleaning

84 disinfectant is diluted with clean water, and the dilution concentration is controlled between 15 and 2 times. Under normal circumstances, three small bottle caps can be poured into a basin of water, and a little more can be put according to the number of cleaning items.

Then brush the parts that are not soaked with diluted disinfectant, and rinse them with clean water. In addition, the price of disinfectant is also very cheap, and the used water can also be poured into the toilet for cleaning.

2, coarse water mill sandpaper cleaning

Because the surface of plastic cutting board has rough lines, when cutting some vegetables, the cutting board will become unclean, and the lines are full of vegetable juice, especially after cutting vegetables for a long time, the chopping marks on the cutting board will become more and more easy to hide juice. However, a rough piece of water mill sandpaper can solve this problem, and the stains will soon disappear while rubbing and washing with water.

3. Cleaning with bittern

The newly bought plastic cutting board needs to be soaked in bittern for several days before use.

4. Bleach cleaning

The cracks left by some kitchen knives on the chopping block are easy to pollute people, and some are not easy to wash off with decontamination powder. You can use bleach instead to stick it on the sponge, squeeze it and wash it with water.
