First of all, we need to classify chopping boards, round boards and square boards. In the manufacturing process, the circular plate is cut horizontally from the trees, and the utilization rate of circular cross-cutting is high. The crosscutting chopping board is resistant to splitting because of its texture, and it is not easy to drop sawdust. The vertical cutting of the square board is perpendicular to the growth of trees and also to improve the utilization rate of wood, but the texture of vertical cutting is the same as that of chopping, which is easy to lose sawdust and crack.

Here, we identify the authenticity of the round plate. Most of the fake cedars in the market are red iron trees, because cedars are commonly known as Tiemu, and the scientific name of red iron trees itself has the word Tiemu, so it is difficult for consumers to protect their rights when they buy them, because they are called Tiemu when they sell them, and the scientific name of what they sell is indeed Tiemu. Merchants deliberately confuse the two, opportunistic, shoddy. So when you buy it, ask if it is fairy wood. The following is the text: In the figure below,No. 1 is a real cedar chopping block, No.2 is a cross-cutting iron wood chopping block, and No.3 is a vertical cutting iron wood chopping block. Look at the texture, the real texture of the alder chopping block is water ripple, and the whole chopping block is the same color. On the other hand, the fake No.2 and No.3 can be seen that there is obvious color separation above No.2 and on the left side of No.3, which looks like splicing. But this is not splicing, but the wood itself, which is the best distinction, because the color separation of solid wood will be easier to identify than the picture. Wood changes color when it meets water. Here, the overall color is not distinguished, mainly depending on whether the local colors are separated.

Let's look at the comparison of details. Authentic iron wood is delicate, with tight fibers, and the side can be polished very smoothly. Pseudo-ironwood fibers are thick and obvious fibers can be seen. After being dipped in water, you can see the white fiber tube. The sides are rough.

Here, let's look at the difference between square plates, mainly looking at the fiber balance on the panel. If it is polished smoothly, you can see whether the wood on the side is delicate or not.

Finally, let's look at the difference between fakes. First, the fiber is thick, which will lead to the wood is not tight enough, and it is easy to drop sawdust. The most important thing is that it is easy to crack, which directly affects the service life of the chopping block! The second is color separation, although it is natural color separation, it will still affect the chopping block, which is easy to crack and looks like splicing. The most impractical of the three fakes is the vertical cut circular plate in the middle, which has no advantages, wastes materials and is not durable.

Matters needing attention

When using for the first time, avoid long-term sun exposure and long-term drying. If cracks appear, you can soak the chopping board in salt water for a day or two.

Whether the chopping block can be used for a long time depends mainly on whether the oil is sufficient. When we usually cut meat, there will be oil spillage, and the chopping board will absorb these oils, so the longer it takes, the less likely it is to crack. If you want to save time, you can apply cooking oil once a day to speed up the absorption of oil. If you have more questions, you can click the ID for consultation.
