A high-quality cutting board is an essential attribute of any housewife, as it is used daily.
Chefs may even have several items that are designed to work with specific foods.
Many housewives choose cheap plastic products, as they are practical and easy to maintain. Their service life is quite decent. However, the best option for cutting food is still wood.
But there are certain difficulties with the material.
First of all, it is noted that the tree loses its original characteristics too quickly and becomes a habitat for bacteria. This problem is easy to solve with ordinary oil.
What needs to be done
Experienced cooks know that a good wooden cutting board can last a very long time if you create a special protective layer yourself.
The simplest and safest solution from a health point of view is oil. It is best to use a flaxseed product.
The board must first be washed and dried. Then, using a clean cloth, apply a layer of oil. After it dries, repeat the procedure. The only difficulty is that you need to apply at least three layers and wait until our impregnation dries completely.
However, the procedure should not be repeated often - it is enough to do it only once every three months.
