1, what is the best cutting board?
1. Bamboo chopping block
There are actually two kinds of bamboo chopping boards, one is the common splicing chopping board, and the bamboo pieces are spliced together with glue; There is also a whole bamboo cutting board, but the difference is not very big. Bamboo is spread out as a plate, and in fact, the processing of bamboo fiber is used as a chopping block.
Advantages: bamboo fiber is tough and hard after processing, resistant to chopping, easy to clean and not easy to mildew and stink.
Disadvantages: inferior chopping boards are easy to crack and deform; The ingredients are quite slippery; Although it is not very absorbent, bacteria are still easy to breed, and it is harmful to the cutting edge of tools and unfriendly to tools. For example, if the knives of VG 10, Lai 'an Steel and Powder Steel are made daily, it is necessary to avoid using bamboo chopping boards.
Step 2: chopping board
Wooden chopping boards are also very common, among which the butcher's "tree chopping board" seen in the vegetable market is basically to directly treat a log slightly, so the quality of the wood itself is very important.
Advantages: high cost performance, good durability, random tossing, decent blade protection, and comfortable cutting. Generally speaking, it is better than a bamboo chopping block.
Disadvantages: heavy, heavy for sister paper; The change of humidity is easy to crack, so some need to put a ring of steel hoop outside; Because it is easy to breed bacteria, it is always scalded with boiling water; Moreover, because the knife cuts parallel to the wood fiber, it is easy to drop sawdust, so it is not recommended to use it.
3. Synthetic cutting board
There are basically two kinds of cutting boards, one is plant fiber synthetic material, and domestic rice husk cutting boards and foreign favorite wood fiber cutting boards generally have certain antibacterial ability.
Advantages: it is not easy to drop crumbs, food is not easy to slide, it is not easy to get dirty, it is not easy to get moldy, it does not absorb water, and it is also good for knives. Basic daily use is very good.
Disadvantages: First, it's expensive, and second, it's not suitable for swearing, so I won't toss chop chops, but in general it's very suitable for daily use.
The second is a fully synthetic material.
The low end is PE plastic plate, which does not hurt the knife. Some of them are not easy to slip, mold and absorb water after treatment, but their wear resistance is not good and they are easy to fall off chips. If it is not specified that there are antibacterial ingredients, it is also easy to breed bacteria, such as IKEA's plastic cutting board, which is not recommended.
4. Other categories
This is basically a glass chopping board.
Advantages: it is hard enough, and there are no chips and odors, many patterns, beautiful and wear-resistant, and it is very easy to clean.
Disadvantages: fragile, unable to chop bones, very, very painful.
2, warm tips
If vegetables, fruits and fish are the main food, then choose high-end imported synthetic chopping boards (including those classified chopping boards). Imported wood fiber cutting board is the best choice, which is not easy to smell, clean, non-absorbent, more friendly to good knives, but the price is also very touching (generally about 400, the bigger one is more expensive).
If you often chop a white-cut chicken, get a tube of bone soup and chop a sparerib, then you must choose an alder chopping board or a better all-bamboo chopping board, but remember to try to choose the one with longitudinal stripes, which is not so easy to lose chips. Moreover, many solid wood chopping boards in Taobao are artificially dyed, so it is not easy to choose. Be careful when buying these two kinds of chopping boards, and remember to iron them with boiling water regularly.
3. How to disinfect the chopping block?
First, boil the chopping block with water, not scald it. Heat the chopping block thoroughly. Under the action of high temperature, bacteria inside and outside the chopping block will be destroyed. After cooking, put it in a ventilated place to dry naturally.
Second, sprinkle salt on the scraper. After cleaning the chopping block, you can kill some salt on it. You can use this method if you usually use a chopping board but don't plan to cook it.

Fourth, pay attention to ventilation in the kitchen at ordinary times, and hang the chopping board in a ventilated place to avoid dark and damp breeding bacteria.
