How do you wash the board, or do you not bother to wash your boards after each use?
sponge + diluted bleach spray it's not as sanitary as a plastic cuttung board but much better for your knives.
I wouldnt do that with chicken though.
If you want something better for your knives, go buy a end grain board. This is not a good board, at most it's novelty.
Actually there's evidence to support that wood is the more hygeinic board.
Not the greatest link but…
http://health.ninemsn.com.au/whatsgoodforyou/theshow/694161/…irrelevant for me since i chuck my plastic boards in the dishwasher, which you can't do so with a wooden board.
imo, someone who takes ages doing food prep is bound to cross contaminate at some point in time. have a vege board and a meat board at the very least.
Cross contamination in a home kitchen is largely a non-issue. It's fine to use the same board for chopping meat and veges provided you're cooking them all immediately (ie don't be making a salad), which in 99% of home cooking situations is the case.
For commercial kitchens where they're pre-cutting food hours before cooking, then it makes sense to be extremely careful.if that's the case, then choice of material (wood/plastic) is a non issue as well. Since you don't leave the slab of meat on the board as long as the lab says. you cut meat, chuck the meat to cook, clean the board. Not let the board lie around like a grub.
Like i said, plastics can be chucked into the dishwasher for 60-70deg water wash. Whereas you can't do the same with wooden boards. Plus you have to deal with mould issues on wood at some point in time.
the only time plastics can't be used is when you are using a chinese cleaver for chopping/butchering, and that's more because of the material that can't withstand the force of the cleaving.
Maybe remove the drawer and wash the top? Will be annoying if you have quite a few knives in there and could potentially harm someone trying to fiddle around with a drawer full of knives.
You don't do a lot of cooking/cleaning do you? If you have to do this every time you use it, why not just buy a normal board and store your knives in the drawer or a block normally? lol
Aww man, why'd you point that out… closes wallet
haha ya I was thinking the same. I just answered ryolo's question "How do you wash the board, or do you not bother to wash your boards after each use?". If someone really wants to get it, that's how they'd have to clean it.
I'm not get this anyway because its not very practical and I already have a few plastic ones.
well, anyone who treasure their knives will not stack their knives on top of one another in a drawer. ;)
Doesn't look like it's available to walk into a store and buy right? so that means either delivery or click and collect and since it's under $25 you have to pay a $5 fee for that.
It is available in store and there was plenty of stock in my store. Best to buy in store to choose the one u like best as there is a fair bit of variation in colour and grain
oh ok cool as the website doesn't even say it's available in store at all.
It might break in the middle when I chop bones on it.
need extra $5 for click & collect if order under $25. i might go and check the store stock.
thanks op!
I wonder if it will fit my keyboard? May make a good underbench keyboard drawer….
Interesting Idea a normal or slighty smaller sized keyboard might just fit! mine with the extra buttons is too big.
the length of the cutting board is 45cm.
Nope, its split into three compartments.
I have one of these and would not recommend it.
The drawer front is not attached well. The main board on top warps because it is to thin and causes the drawer to stick.
I have had to glue and nail the front of drawer on. Also have had to plane the inside of it to make it slide.
Think I paid about the same a while back.with all that effort, isn't it more worth it to just rip out the drawer and use the top as a 2 sided chopping board and the drawer as a smaller chopping board?
just saying.
You could, but it would cause the top to warp even more as the drawer helps support it.
oh i meant remove the 'legs' too… so the top is a conventional flat piece. And you get a new lease of life with that top piece since you will have 2 sides to use now.
More uses.
Place it under the monitor.
Seems like the ideal device to add a bit of wood to the office while adding some organisation to pens and whatnot. Have I been in the office too long?Thats actually a very nice idea!
