Which cutting board is better to choose for the kitchen?
It’s important to select high-quality wooden and polyethylene cutting boards, made by companies in the sector using materials suitable for food contact. These are seemingly obvious prerequisites, yet they must always be kept in mind when seeking excellence.
Prefer a wooden cutting board when…
The wooden cutting board, a classic in all kitchens, especially those of grandmothers who cherish this material. But is it really worth choosing, and for which uses?
Certainly, in the restaurant industry, it is not recommended due to strict hygiene standards that make the use of this material difficult. No law outright bans it, but regulations for cleaning and sanitization make its use challenging on a broad scale, such as in professional settings.
On the other hand, in the domestic sphere, things change significantly. There are no regulations, just common sense and household cleaning, often more than enough.
What to pay attention to? Obviously, the type of wood the cutting board is made of, for which we suggest Beech or Oak, particularly sturdy and durable, but also able to absorb less water and moisture.
Polyethylene cutting boards: the perfect choice for professional use
Polyethylene cutting boards are undoubtedly the most suitable for professional use, within the kitchens of restaurants, delicatessens, butcheries, and fish shops. These are available in different colors as dictated by HACCP regulations, and are easier to clean and sanitize.
Sturdy and available in different sizes, they can be used with practically any food, from meat to fish, from cheese to bread, including fruits and vegetables. Practical and functional, they can also undergo periodic maintenance to extend their useful life and keep them in perfect condition.
