HOW TO CHOOSE A PLASTIC CHOPPING BOARD FOR YOUR KITCHEN
When choosing a plastic chopping board for your kitchen, a thorough assessment of your needs is vital. If you like to cook or own a commercial kitchen, you'll probably use your plastic chopping board daily, if not multiple times a day. So it's essential to choose the right board.
In this article, we discuss what you should consider when choosing a plastic chopping board for your kitchen to ensure your chopping board does what you need it to, for as long as you need it to.
Compare Cutting Board Thickness
If you intend to prepare soft foods like fruits and bread, the thickness of your cutting board will be much thinner than that used to cut root vegetables.
Thickness ensures longevity for boards used to cut robust ingredients and prevents your board from deteriorating from frequent use.
Consider Ease of Cleaning
Generally, wooden chopping boards are harder to clean due to their water-absorbing properties. Water absorption causes wood rot and diminishes the effectiveness of your board. For this reason, dousing your wooden chopping board in water is not recommended.
Wooden chopping boards are not dishwasher safe and can be irreversibly damaged if cleaned in them. But since using dishwashers is the most effective way to sanitise cooking equipment, what is the solution?
The plastic chopping boards we sell are dishwasher-safe and unsusceptible to warping from high temperatures. So, if you're looking for an easy-to-clean chopping board for your domestic or commercial kitchen, plastic is the way to go.
Plastic chopping boards are often described as difficult to sanitise due to the scratches blades leave on their surface. Small scratches and large dents can make them difficult to clean by hand, but a dishwasher can penetrate these scars with ease.
You don’t have to worry about thorough cleaning and sanitisation if you have a dishwasher-safe plastic chopping board.
What About the Cost?
If you’re looking for a low-cost and high-quality chopping board for your domestic or commercial kitchen, plastic chopping boards are the solution. Since the costs of manufacturing plastic are so low, it means they are very affordable, commercially and domestically.Our range of plastic chopping boards are priced affordably to provide homeowners and businesses with durable and cost-effective chopping boards for their kitchens.
Think About Size and Shape
Although it may seem benign, the size and shape of your chopping board can heavily influence its ease of use, especially in a commercial kitchen. Round chopping boards, especially those with handles, are easy to turn for easy access to all sides of your food, without causing you to stretch while preparing.
Furthermore, the higher the surface area of your board, the more space you have for preparation. A smaller chopping board is best suited for small foods, whereas a larger board is better for bigger ingredients.
Multipurpose chopping boards are available in various sizes and shapes, so it’s recommended to consider which will work best for you.
