Wooden cutting boards,
When you think of a cutting board the first thing that comes to mind is the traditional wooden type. With time and invention of technology all around us makes sense that the technologies for change and improve the kitchen too. Today there are three main materials used to make cutting boards in the kitchen. They are wooden, plastic, and glass. There are two types of wood used - wood end grain and flat grain.
Types of boards wood
End grain butcher block wood are the Cadillac of cutting boards. Wooden boards are arranged so that the wood grain runs up and down in end-grain boards. With this type of board the grain of the wood that separates the knife meets the surface of the board during the cutting process. You will not cut real wood board, but actually between the fibers that will save the surface of the plate and maintain the razor's edge. The flat grain cutting board is made of wooden boards that are arranged horizontally so that the edges of the board in fact form the space used for cutting. This cutting board is usually reversible to help extend the life of of the Board.
The disadvantages of using wood cutting surface
There are drawbacks to the reduction of wood surfaces. One of the main falls the use of wood for this type of kitchen tool is that some forests can and do take place in dangerous toxins such as salmonella, bacteria and all other kinds of germs on its cracks and crevices. Wooden boards can not be sanitized in the dishwasher because the heat can and do make the board useless doing wood to split and warp and no longer lie on the counter. You want the Board such firm, flat when in use. Another disadvantage of using a wooden board is in need of treated regularly with some type of mineral oil in order to extend the life of the Board and protect the collection of mold. Pure mineral oil is the most popular oil on wood surfaces used every week because it is cheaper. There are others that use edible oils such as sunflower or olive oils but these oils should remain on the board for at least an hour before being scrubbed.
Most professional chefs and butchers agree that using end grain, best butcher block makes the best chopping board for the kitchen.

Start by seasoning your wooden cutting board. This will help prevent staining and absorption of food. Use a product that is non-toxic (edible) and has no strong taste or smell. Mineral oil food quality is better and is easy to find in your supermarket or pharmacy. Heat oil and apply with a soft cloth and go with the grain of the wood. You must put in four layers allowing time for the oil to soak in That the Board to sit for several hours before cleaning the excess oil. You must oil the board once a month or as needed. CLEAN YOUR BOARD: Clean your board with soap and warm water, but do not submerge your board. Never place wood cutting boards in the dishwasher as they warp. Wipe dry immediately and stored upright to keep the wood of deformation. To clean and deodorize discolorizations use coarse salt and rub the surface with half a lemon until the stain disappears.
