 Many Food Safety for Healthy Outdoor Cooking people choose their cutting boards based on durability, ease of cleaning, and personal preference.
Nonporous cutting boards are often easier to clean than wooden boards.
Wood cutting boards are also very popular and have been used in kitchens for many years. They are durable and gentle on knives, which helps keep blades sharp for a longer time. Although wood is slightly porous, proper cleaning and regular maintenance can keep a wooden cutting board safe and effective for food preparation.
According to the Meat and Poultry Hotline, consumers can safely use either wooden or nonporous cutting boards when preparing raw meat and poultry. Both types of boards can be used if they are cleaned properly after each use. Washing the board with hot water and soap immediately after cutting raw meat helps remove bacteria and prevent contamination.
However, it is a good idea to use separate cutting boards for different types of food. This simple practice helps reduce the risk of spreading harmful bacteria.
Using separate cutting boards prevents bacteria from raw foods from contaminating foods that will not be cooked again. By following these simple safety steps, you can prepare meals more safely and maintain better hygiene in your kitchen.
