Wooden cutting boards - the indestructible classics

Wooden cutting boards are gentler on the knife edge. When cutting or chopping on wooden kitchen boards, the knife stays sharp longer. In addition, the tannins present in the wood ensure a natural killing of germs on the surface of the board.. Compared to plastic cutting boards, wooden boards may not be cleaned in the dishwasher. Thus, when it comes to cutting perishable foods such as fish or poultry, plastic boards are more suitable for hygienic reasons.

How to care for and clean cutting boards?

Plastic cutting boards are dishwasher safe. Accordingly, you can easily put the boards in the dishwasher and wash them like other dishes or pots. In the case of wooden boards, hand cleaning is required. For this, use simple dishwashing detergent and no harsh cleaners, so as not to damage the wood structure. Wooden cutting boards can be additionally treated with a drop of oil after drying. This closes wood pores and the surface remains beautiful and resilient longer.

Buying cutting boards - what to look for?
