What is the best cutting board?
A cutting board can be found in every kitchen and serves as a stable and hygienic surface when cutting food. But which cutting board is the best?
Which type of wood is best for a cutting board?
Choosing the right type of wood for your Cutting board is crucial for durability and function. Soft coniferous wood quickly develops unsightly grooves. Solid wood, on the other hand, is significantly harder. Maple, walnut, oak and cherry are particularly popular and are ideal for an all-round cutting board. Solid wood can withstand knife cuts well but is soft enough to protect the knives. It has antibacterial properties due to the natural tannic acid, which prevents the spread of bacteria and even kills them over time. Depending on the type of wood, a wooden cutting board offers an elegant, natural, warm look. Each type of wood has its own advantages. As an all-rounder in many areas, the oak one of the absolute superstars of the wood species. Oak combines all of these properties to make it a very good wood for the kitchen.
Which type of wood is antibacterial?
With the right cutting board you have a real germ killer. Certain types of wood have high levels of natural antibacterial properties that inhibit the growth of bacteria and even kill them. maple, oak, ash, larch, walnut, birch and cherry are known for their excellent antibacterial properties. The dense cell structure makes it difficult for bacteria to penetrate the wood. The resistant surface makes the cutting board more resistant to scratches and cuts, which means the surface remains more hygienic and the spread or establishment of germs is significantly minimized.
However, the correct and regular Care a crucial factor in maintaining the antibacterial properties of wooden cutting boards. Occasional sanding and oiling ensure that the board lasts a long time and that the wooden surface is always protected. In summary, it can be said that solid wood, and especially oak, are excellent antibacterial cutting boards due to their high tannin content.
How do I clean a wooden cutting board?
First of all, a wooden cutting board should be cleaned with as little water as possible and as much as necessary. Wood and water can only mix to a certain extent, especially if the wood is not to work too hard, crack or deform. Nevertheless, the correct cleaning of a wooden cutting board is crucial for hygiene and longevity. After use, the cutting board should be rinsed with lukewarm water. If you are only cutting some bread on it, you can do without water altogether - read the first sentence again - but avoid aggressive cleaning agents. These damage the surface, which was created by several sanding and oiling processes. After each wash, you should dry the cutting board thoroughly and let it air dry completely on both sides before putting it back in a drawer. Very important, always wash the cutting board on both sides so that it does not warp and work on one side. If you like to prepare raw meat or fish on the wooden cutting board, you should use a little washing-up liquid when cleaning.
Why a wooden cutting board and not a plastic cutting board?
The main advantages of a wooden cutting board over a plastic one are:
- Sustainability: Wood is a renewable raw material that has no negative environmental impact even after use.
- Antibacterial: The natural tannins in the wood kill germs and prevent them from multiplying.
- Protects the knife: Compared to plastic, wood protects the blade of high-quality knives. It is hard, but still soft enough.
- Abrasion: The abrasion from the wooden cutting board is wood. With plastic cutting boards, microplastics end up in the dish.
Which cutting board do the professionals use?
To answer the question correctly, it would first have to be clarified who a professional is. If one takes people with a strong cooking life who work intensively with a cutting board every day, they would most likely be considered End grain cutting board tend to. End grain cutting boards have several advantages over the classic longitudinal grain cutting board. The main thing is the harder and self-closing surface. This looks longer and is significantly harder. The look is also more elegant and playful. Manufacturing is also more complex, which makes these cutting boards more expensive. However, the care and, above all, daily work with them is more demanding. More frequent oiling and careful handling with little to no waterlogging are essential for such cutting boards. As is often the case, the higher the quality of the product, the more care and attention it needs to be taken.
Does my cutting board need a juice groove?
Not necessarily. For Marco, the owner and managing director of Holz-Liebling, a high-quality cutting board doesn't need any features. A minimalist design is just right for a classy cutting board. However, if you often prepare very liquid foods, such as tomatoes or steaks, a juice groove can be useful to keep the moisture on the cutting board. In most cases, buyers opt for the visual background and, as we know, this is always individual. A tip: if you want a juice groove, then go for it without feet. That way you have one side with a groove and one without.
What is the highest quality cutting board?
In general, End grain cutting boards or also called end grain / head grain, very high quality in processing and production. The important thing is the quality and professional production. The individual strips of wood must be perfectly even so that there is no tension on the board. At the same time, the cleanly sanded surface is crucial. Only a sanding machine that sands the cutting board over its entire surface ensures a consistently flat surface.
In terms of wood, walnut and fruit woods such as apple are among the highest quality and finest types of wood. With a proud size of 60x40x5 cm, the Apple tree end grain cutting board the highest quality and most exclusive cutting board.
Are feet under a cutting board useful?
Feet have two decisive advantages. The cutting board no longer slips on the kitchen worktop and it always gets air from both sides. The last argument in particular is overlooked by many interested parties. If wood only gets air on one side for several hours, it can warp. The feet also ensure that air can get under the board. Nevertheless, Cutting board feet a decisive disadvantage. With screwed feet you only have one cutting surface. Tip: look at the Multistopper With the silicone strips you have the advantages of the feet, but not the disadvantage :-).
