Soaking in concentrated salt water can make the cutting board stronger and less likely to crack, and it is also clean and durable. The salt soaked in the cutting board can also play a role in sterilization and disinfection; the cutting board is exposed to the air, and the moisture dissipates and becomes too dry. Later, it is easy to crack. When table salt is exposed to the air, it easily absorbs moisture in the air and becomes moist, commonly known as moisture. Soak the cutting board in concentrated salt water. After the salt is slowly soaked into the entire cutting board, when the cutting board is exposed to the air again and the moisture is continuously emitted, the salt in the cutting board will continue to absorb the moisture in the air, affecting the dishes. The moisture of the cutting board is replenished and the drying time of the cutting board is delayed, thereby preventing the cutting board from cracking.
