Why Use a Cutting Board

Hey, welcome to my blog! Today I want to talk about why you should use a cutting board when you're cooking. You might think it's not a big deal, but trust me, it makes a huge difference.

First of all, using a cutting board protects your knives from getting dull. If you cut directly on the countertop or on a plate, you're rubbing your knife against a hard surface that can damage the edge. A cutting board provides a softer and smoother surface that preserves your knife's sharpness.

Secondly, using a cutting board prevents cross-contamination of food. If you cut raw meat and then cut vegetables on the same surface without washing it, you're risking transferring bacteria and germs from one food to another. A cutting board allows you to separate different foods and keep them clean and safe.

Thirdly, using a cutting board makes cleaning easier. Instead of having to scrub your countertop or your plate after cutting, you can just rinse your cutting board and put it in the dishwasher or the sink. A cutting board also catches any juices or crumbs that might spill over and create a mess.

So, as you can see, using a cutting board is a smart and simple way to improve your cooking experience. It saves your knives, your food, and your time. Below, you'll find personalized cutting board ideas for your favorite peep. Be sure to personalize one for yourself, while you're at it.
