Wooden Cutting Board
Cutting Board is a tool that used as
the base when we cut the ingredient of a food. This tool is used to protect the
table from scratch. Housewife who likes cooking must be very familiar with this
tool. Or maybe, this tool become the must have tool in the kitchen. Nowadays,
there are various kind of cutting board. One of them is Wooden Cutting Board. So,
is this cutting board better than others?
Generally wooden cutting board has
more pores. It makes bacteria get in easier. But, microbiologist from Food
Research Institute in University of Wisconsin found that wood has nature
ability to kill bacteria. The ability will make the bacteria dry and die for 3
minutes. Meanwhile plastic cutting board makes the bacteria survive because it
is hard and doesn’t has pores and also give the chance for bacteria to multiply
themself.
Wooden cutting board also safer than
plastic cutting board. When we use wooden cutting board sometimes accidentally
some piece of the wood will get into our food. If it is happen, it wouldn’t
harm our body and can be processed by our body, because wooden cutting board
made from organik material. Meanwhile the plastic cutting board, made from
anorganic material that we called it polyethylene. If we swallow it, it can not
be processed by our body. Of course it will harm our body.
Beside that, wooden cutting board
doesn’t make the knife that we use blunt. It is because wood isn’t really hard.
Wooden cutting board is better on keeping the knife sharp than the plastic or
glass.
Washing wooden cutting board is easy enough.
You just have to spread a layer of salt and let it for one night. Then rub the
cutting board with towel and rinse it until clean. The salt will remove the oil
and has a role as abrasive to peel the waste off. After that, to keep the
wooden cutting board from the bacteria, when you put it in the rack, it is best
to place it vertically and not horizontally.
From all of that, we can conclude that wooden
cutting board is safe and good for us. It is more resistant to the development
of bacteria than the plastic ones. Then it is safer than plastic because it is
made from wood. Beside that, it wouldn’t makes our knife blunt and easy to
wash.
