bamboo cutting board
The versatile and ecologically friendly bamboo has invaded our kitchens. Yes, we had been using bamboo chopsticks for years but whoever thought that someday we will also have a bamboo cutting board or servers made of bamboo? As it turns out, aside from being ecologically friendly, bamboo has other qualities that make it ideal material for fashioning kitchen things. Bamboo is denser and harder than most hard woods. It is harder than maple which is the wood most commonly used in chopping boards.
The beautiful color of the bamboo makes it blend beautifully with any kitchen décor. There is no need to apply stain or color. Unlike wood it can be darkened using a cooking process. Salad hands, rolling pins and salt boxes are just a few of the products that can be fashioned out of bamboo that can be used in your kitchen. Check them out for yourself or to give as gifts to friends.
