For kitchen utensils, we have many tools, such as chopping boards, sinks, cookers, etc. Among them, chopping boards can be said to be the tools we have to use every day. At present, many people may choose bamboo chopping boards. Because it can help us cut vegetables, meat and other ingredients, but also compared with plastic and wood chopping boards, it will be more environmentally friendly and healthy. However, bamboo chopping board can't be used directly when it is bought home, but it needs to be treated. So, what should I do when I use bamboo chopping boards for the first time? How to maintain it? Also, do you have any brand recommendations for bamboo chopping boards?

first, what should I do when using bamboo chopping board for the first time?

1. Wash the bamboo chopping block after buying it, and use boiling water when cleaning, because the surface of the chopping block is waxed before leaving the factory, and the wax on both sides should be washed off. After washing, soak it in concentrated salt water for 1 hour. Salt absorbs moisture and can prevent the chopping block from drying and cracking.

2. Dry the washed bamboo chopping block, and then deal with the problem of expansion with heat and contraction with cold. The method is to drill a hole in the middle of the chopping block with a diameter of about 5 mm to 1 mm. Just plug this hole with a small piece of wood

3. After moisture-proof and heat expansion and cold contraction treatment, the bamboo chopping board should be coated with a layer. To boil the cooking oil, pour it evenly with hot oil, and let the chopping block fully contact with the oil. Then let it dry, let the oil be absorbed by the chopping block, and finally wash it with water.

Second, the maintenance method of bamboo chopping board in daily use

After the first treatment, the bamboo chopping board can be more handy in use, but to enhance the service life, we should pay attention to the maintenance of the bamboo chopping board at ordinary times.

1. Clean the bamboo chopping block after each use, dry the water stains with a dry towel, then hang it in a ventilated place, and keep both sides dry.

2. Don't expose yourself to the sun, and don't soak in water for a long time in use except after the first soaking in salt water.

3. You should not be lazy in cleaning the bamboo chopping board, and you should not use the dishwasher to wash it, let alone put it in the disinfection cabinet for high-temperature disinfection.

4. Rub a layer of oil on the surface of the chopping block every once in a while, which can moisten the bamboo fiber and make it last longer.

5. After cutting the meat with strong fishy smell, washing it with lemon and coarse salt can deodorize and sterilize it, but not cooking it.

6. After handling very greasy ingredients, the chopping block is not easy to clean. It is forbidden to use objects such as steel balls to brush, and hot water can quickly remove oil.

7. If the chopping block is not kept dry, mildew will occur. At this time, use white vinegar to remove mildew. The method is to blend white vinegar and water in a ratio of 1:2, and then directly brush the heated white vinegar water on the mildew spot to remove the mildew spot, and then coat it with oil after drying.

8. It is suggested to use different chopping boards for cutting cooked meat and raw meat to reduce the possibility of cross-breeding of food bacteria.

9. The temperature difference between the north and the south of China is large, and the south is mainly mildew-proof, so it is necessary to keep the bamboo chopping board dry; In the north, it mainly cracks, which means that the bamboo chopping board should be kept at a certain temperature as far as possible when used.

3. Which brand of bamboo chopping board is good?
