When cutting cooked food, many families are accustomed to using traditional wooden cutting boards, and many young people prefer plastic cutting boards. In fact, the cooked food delivered to the mouth is the threshold of “disease in the mouth”. Wooden cutting boards are prone to chipping off, while plastic cutting boards are easy to breed bacteria. Nowadays, there are bamboo cutting boards on the market, which are not only light, smooth, and antibacterial.

For example, cutting boards made of ebony wood contain toxic substances. Using it to cut cooked food will contaminate dishes and easily cause symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and dizziness. There are also some cutting boards with loose wood, which are prone to knife marks on the surface. If they are not cleaned thoroughly, they can easily hide dirt, breed bacteria, and contaminate food. Although the plastic cutting board is beautiful and light, if it is not dry, bacteria can easily multiply, and it is not suitable for cutting cooked food.
