How do you clean a cutting board in an ecologically responsible manner?
Chopping boards.
Bamboo and wooden cutting boards. you see them (again) appearing more and more now that we are more reminded that we need to deal with our environment more ecologically. Where we used to quickly switch to the plastic version of the cutting board and bread boards, we now (fortunately) go back to the more natural materials earlier.
As a chef, I am used to working with colored plastic cutting boards according to food safety standards, this is to maintain clarity which food group should be cut on which shelf. For example, there is less risk of cross-contamination and therefore less risk of getting sick.However, recently, more and more use has been made of wood or bamboo in restaurant kitchens.
Working hygienically is already a top priority there anyway, and cleaning cutting boards between the various foods to be cut is one of the most important things, but when I look at the mountain of dishwashing and cleaning products that one week you use in the restaurant kitchen becomes, does it really make me sad.
