Chopping board

[Daveya.]

I honestly didn't think there were any more topics the TZ Massive could create obsessions about. Chopping boards! I now have several tabs open and am considering the merits and usage of wood versus plastic

Plastic for raw meat in the dishwasher on hot wash

And wood for the pose

Coloured chopping board only mandatory in U.K. where the food is sold.

Raw meat needs to differentiate between poultry and other meat.

Poultry board must be cleaned with cold water cloth first not hot. After removal of debris and surface then a poultry scrub and cleaning product can be used.

The colour of the boards is not mandated, and Resturant can have their own conventions even though some Manufactuers will provide guides.

Ditto-ish.

We have an oiled walnut live edge plus a set of these (which slot into the dishwasher).

Yeah my wife rinsed the poultry board then it goes into dishwasher

Wabi'd chopping boards coming to SC soon???

Plastic boards + sharp slicing knives = potential consumption of microplastic fragments. ?

Now we’ are talking. Genius!

There isn't a rabbit hole to go down with plastic boards though

There is, but not very deep.

Can I interest Sir in some Apex Professional self-healing cutting boards? £529 per board.

Yes please. I am always slicing into my finger.

As an aside, I have recently finished making my new kitchen units from maple (well, sycamore felled from my front garden, or as I call it "free maple") but frustratingly despite being inundated with offcuts, there isn't one large enough to fashion a chopping board from. The closest I come is laminating some strips together to make a fish cleaning board, but I wouldn't altogether fancy a glued sectioned board for food preparation.
One unit to go, so fingers crossed!

When I was repairing car body timber frames for a living I called myself an offcut manufacturer.

Have a look at your butcher's cutting block next time you are worried about a glued board. They are made from end grain strips.

Hate seeing knives used like that in advertising photos, always the back of the blade to be used!

There are some amazing chopping boards with drawers etc, our pull out bin has a food caddy that hooks up over the base cupboard doors & you can scrape into it easily.
