Benefits of Wood Cutting Boards<\/h2>\n

A kitchen essential for any cook, novice or professional, is a quality wood cutting board. Besides being much more attractive than plastic, the most important benefit of wood cutting boards is that they are more sanitary than plastic. While plastic seems to be non-porous and less likely to harbor bacteria, the surface becomes knife-scarred with use. This rough surface is exceptionally difficult to clean, even with bleach or running through the dishwasher. Wood, by contrast, shows the ability to halt the growth of and actually kill bacteria on its surface.

Secondly, wood cutting boards protect your knives better than plastic, ceramic, or glass cutting boards. Another added benefit is that choosing wood cutting boards is more sustainable and can support small businesses such as Mevell.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
