Plastic cutting board hygiene that must not be ignored

2021-05-05

Abstract: In family life, cutting boards are essential for cooking every day, but cutting board hygiene is not very important. Many families think that plastic cutting boards are only used to assist in cutting food, as long as the vegetables and cutting boards are rinsed after cutting. As everyone knows, if only this is the case, no matter what kind of cutting board it is for a long time, it will breed a large number of pathogenic bacteria. 
 
1. Three kinds of mistakes in the use of cutting boards
 
The first is to cut the food on a cutting board regardless of whether it is raw or cooked. Meat, vegetables, poultry and other foods often contain bacteria and parasites. When cutting food, the bacteria will stay on the cutting board. If cooked food is cut on the cutting board, the bacteria will take the opportunity to stick to the cooked food. , Directly into our oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, it is easy to cause digestive system and other diseases. In particular, some cutting boards that have cut seafood products leave a lot of streptomyces, etc. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause extra-intestinal infections and acute diarrhea.
 
The second is that the cutting board is not disinfected and only rinsed with water. Water rinsing can only simply clean off the residue of the cut food on the cutting board, and has no effect on disinfection and sterilization.
 
The third is that the plastic cutting boards are not placed on the hob instead of hanging, and even the kitchen utensils are randomly placed on the cutting board. And because the cutting board has been used for many years, there are still many cracks, and these cracks tend to breed a large number of pathogenic bacteria. 

 

 
 
Second, the correct use of plastic cutting boards
 
1. Regardless of the material of the cutting board, it must be replaced every 2-3 years
 
In general households, at least 3 chopping boards must be prepared, one for cutting raw food, one for cutting vegetables, and one for cutting cooked food. If it is a family with a baby, an extra small cutting board should be prepared to make supplementary food for the baby. When buying a cutting board, the material is also very important. Plastic cutting boards are durable and look good, but they are not resistant to high temperatures and are easily deformed. Because the wooden cutting board is natural wood, it is easy to breed bacteria and produce mildew. The bamboo cutting board has a smooth surface, a light texture, is not easy to be deformed, and has a bacteriostatic effect. But bamboo cutting boards cannot withstand heavy blows. Various materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, so you should choose according to your own use needs when purchasing. 
 
2. Pay attention to hanging in a ventilated position
 
In daily life, most people don't pay much attention to the cleaning of cutting boards. Many people just rinse the vegetables with water after cutting them, and scald them with hot water if they are careful, or directly scrape them with a kitchen knife and wipe them with a rag. The cleaning effort that we think is enough is actually far from enough.
 
You can choose to buy kitchen disinfectant and disinfect the cutting board regularly. The most important thing is to keep the kitchen ventilated, and the cutting board should be hung in a ventilated position to avoid the breeding of harmful bacteria.
