plastic cutting board
September 24th, 2009
Avoid food contamination in your kitchen. It is a good habit to use separate cutting boards for different types of food you prepare. For example, assign a plastic cutting board each for raw meat, poultry or fish, and another for cooked or ready-to-eat foods such as salads, vegetables, and breads. This will provide your family with protection against cross-contamination such as spreading of certain food-borne bacteria like E-coli.
Buy color-coded plastic cutting boards to make things easier. They are great choices especially for chefs on the go. Buy board made of heavy duty polyethylene that can withstand harsh slicing, dicing and chopping. Plastic is non-porous and easy to clean.
