Is it really necessary to have a separate cutting board for chopping vegetables and cutting meat?
Although it is not absolutely necessary, it is in your best interest to use two cutting boards. When raw meat is cut on a cutting board, small particles of blood and matter can get lodged in cut marks which breed bacteria. Chopping vegetables on the same board used for raw meat can cause cross-contamination and lead to food borne illness, something we all want to avoid. To be on the safe side you can purchase two plastic color-coded cutting boards and designate one for vegetables and one for meats. This type of cutting board is readily available and is dishwasher safe. Wooden cutting boards should be washed thoroughly with hot soapy water then sanitized in a hot water and bleach solution using 1 capful of bleach for one gallon of water. If small enough, wooden cutting boards may also be run through the dishwasher. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— Questions and Answers About O
