After each use, wash your timber chopping area with a mild dish soap and hot water. Wash effectively and dry with a cloth. Then allow it air-dry entirely (bacteria die once they aren’t held moist). To sanitize the surface, you might want to wipe your cutting table with white vinegar after use. Vinegar is effective against salmonella, E. coli and staphylococcus. You can use it with a report towel or, for simplicity, have a spray package filled up with vinegar practical in your kitchen. ALWAYS CLEAN THE CUTTING BOARD SURFACE THOROUGHLY IF YOU’VE CUT UP FISH OR POULTRY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When cutting garlic or onion and cutting fish, getting some food smells on your board is unavoidable. To eliminate these scents, you can wipe your board with rough sodium, orange, or cooking soda. Allow it to stay on the board for a couple of moments, then wash down the surface. Wash well and give it time to dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DO NOT soak your panels (or some other wooden utensils) in water or they’ll crack and warp! DO NOT put them in a dishwasher to completely clean them. Because of the way many chopping panels & butcher blocks are made (gluing items of wood together) doing this may cause your board to fall to pieces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To prevent discoloration and to help keep food smells and bacteria from building at first glance, hold your panel well-oiled. Use a gas which can be used again and again, such as for example spring oil. Nutrient oil is obvious, tasteless, odorless, secure around food and can fill the wood pores. Stay away from olive, good fresh fruit and plant oils, or pet fats, as these oils can get rancid over time. Make sure your board is clean and dried, then wipe the gas in your cutting panel in an even layer using a clear, smooth material or report towel. Wait for it to soak in to the timber (for at least a couple of hours or over night works also!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
