Most chopping boards are made of camphor wood, oak, ironwood, cypress, poplar, bamboo, plastic and other materials. Generally speaking, wooden chopping boards are better, and they are all made of natural materials, so everyone will feel more at ease when using them. Chopboards made of camphor wood are hard, insect-free, dense, non-absorbent, sanitary, long-lasting, cheap and economical.
Advantages and disadvantages of other cutting boards
1, plastic cutting board
The advantage of plastic cutting board is that it absorbs less water, is not easy to mold and breed bacteria, and is more convenient to clean. However, the plastic cutting board is relatively thin and not suitable for hard food, and it is mostly made of PP. If the manufacturer is not regular, the plastic cutting board may contain some harmful substances.
2. Bamboo chopping block
The advantage of bamboo chopping board is that it is strong in material, not easy to crack and deform, and has a certain inhibitory effect on bacterial reproduction. The disadvantage is that bamboo chopping boards are lighter than wooden chopping boards and can't stand heavy blows, so bamboo chopping boards are more suitable for cutting vegetables or fruits, but not for hard frozen meat and bones.
3. Glass cutting board
In fact, the glass chopping board is used less, mainly because its material is hard and fragile. It is ok to cut some fruits and vegetables at ordinary times, but it is not suitable for cutting or chopping meat. Be especially careful when using it, handle it with care, or it will be easily broken.
4. Ceramic cutting board
Ceramic chopping boards are similar to glass chopping boards. Their advantages are easy to wash, not easy to breed bacteria, and basically no mildew spots. But the disadvantage is that the material is brittle and hard, which is not suitable for cutting a lot of food or meat. It can only be used to cut some vegetables and fruits.
