Wooden Cutting Boards
Wooden cutting boards are becoming more and more popular. Many people are choosing them over plastic boards when it comes to food preparation. There was a time when everyone though plastic was better because it was nonporous. However, recent studies have shown that this may not be the case. There are actually many benefits to using cutting boards made of wood over using those made of plastic.
One reason to choose a wooden cutting block over plastic is that they are safer when it comes to uncooked food. Bacteria can thrive on plastic, sometimes even after it has been washed. Wood, however, does not promote the growth of bacteria. Studies have been done that show bacteria can multiply on plastic when the board is not cleaned for a specified amount of time. The wood cutting block used in the research showed the bacteria died off within just a few minutes.
It is easier for plastic cutting boards to become damaged by knives used on it. Wood is more resistant to scratches and cuts made by the knives when preparing meats and vegetables. This makes them easier to sanitize after each use. With plastic, bacteria can get down into the cracks and scratches, contaminating the next food used on the board. This can happen even after the board has been washed with soap and hot water. Plus, the more damage incurred by knives means the quicker the boards have to be replaced. Wooden boards can last for several years due to their resistance to cuts and other damage.
Knives tend to become damaged quicker from plastic than they do with wooden cutting boards. They may also dull faster, requiring you to sharpen them more often. This can become a nuisance if you use your knives and cutting boards to prepare foods on a regular basis. Having to replace knives is not an affordable option for many people, so they need something that will allow their cutlery to last as long as possible.
The one possible downfall of wooden cutting boards is the maintenance required to keep it clean. There are steps you need to take to make sure the board is well sanitized. However, this work is a small price to pay to ensure you and your family is safe from bacteria. The process is not difficult, and once completed, you can feel better knowing you have a clean wooden cutting block rather than a plastic one that could still be carrying bacteria.
As you can see, there are many benefits of using wooden cutting boards as opposed to plastic. The greatest aspect of wood is that it does not allow bacteria to grow as plastic does. This can cut down on the amount of food contamination as well as illness that can arise from improper handling of food. Wood tends to last longer than plastic as well, and is not as evasive on the knives used for preparing the foods as plastic can be.
