Cutting board

 You use many things in your kitchen daily to prepare the meals that your friends and family will eat. You use knives to cut and prepare and a food processor for blending and puree’, pots and pans for cooking and plates and other service items for the food service of your meals. One of the most used items in your kitchen is the kitchen cutting board. This is a fundamental tool for preparing your foods. I use a John Boos cutting board made from northern hard rock maple from Massachusetts. It is considered to be very safe and even more sanitary than many of the synthetic cutting boards on the market today by the NSF (The National Sanitary Foundation) Since this piece of equipment is used everyday it must be cleaned and maintained properly to prevent food poisoning.Just doing a quick wash with hot water and liquid soap is not sufficient enough to clean and sanitize your board and can leave germs and bacteria behind that you are not aware of and can possibly make you sick. You need to take special care of your cutting board whether it is a John Boos cutting board like mine or not and whether it is made of wood or not. 

ChoppingBlocks is the well-known company that offers kitchen utensils of top-notch quality.In my home I use multiple cutting boards, one is for vegetables only, one for meat and one for fish and chicken. I use a different colored indelible ink on each board for color coding on the boards sides. This is to prevent cross contamination from the meat products in order to prevent food poisoning.If you have never had food poisoning believe you me, you don’t want it! With proper cleaning and maintenance of your kitchen cutting boards you can prevent it from happening. I use my dishwasher to clean my John Boos cutting boards as the dishwasher cleans and sanitizes the boards. If by chance you do not have a dishwasher you can still clean and sanitize your cutting boards by hand and get the same results.Like us
