A chopping board is an essential tool in every Vietnamese household. On average, each family will have 1-3 different chopping boards depending on their usage needs. However, have you ever wondered why there is always a large hole on each chopping board and what it is used for? Let’s find out!
You may notice that most chopping boards have a fairly large hole near the edge. Typically, most people think that the hole is used for hanging it on a rack or wall or for easy handling. However, in reality, this special structure serves a completely different purpose.
Normally, when cutting food, especially when cutting it into small pieces, you may have some difficulty in transferring the finished product to a bowl or plate. The food is easily spilled out and you have to wash it again, which takes time. If you use your hand, especially with cooked food, the risk of bacterial contamination from your hands is very high, not to mention the lack of hygiene.
The correct way is to use a knife to cut the food, then transfer it through the hole so that it falls onto the tray or plate below easily. This method is applied to foods like diced fruits or minced meat.
In addition, when using a chopping board, you should also pay attention to some other notes:
– Use a separate chopping board for raw and cooked food, do not mix the two types. Bacteria from raw food will contaminate the immediate types of food, which can cause stomach pain and diarrhea.
– You should also keep the chopping board dry to prevent mold, especially with wooden chopping boards. After using it, you should wash it clean and let it dry, preferably air dry in the dishwasher.
– According to the recommendations of scientists, you should use a wooden chopping board instead of a plastic one because when left overnight, there are more bacteria on the plastic board than on the wooden one.
– It is advisable to use a new or intact chopping board. When the chopping board is old or has many dents from the knife, you should replace it with a new one. At this time, the chopping board has deteriorated, causing the food after cutting to stick to the surface of the board, which allows bacteria to enter. If you continue to use it, it can cause many dangerous diseases for the digestive system.
