Wooden Cutting Boards…

There are glass, plastic, and wood cutting boards available out there for purchase. Many people assume different qualities about the different types of materials, some of which are true, and others which are untrue. At Carolina Wood Designs, we naturally create wooden cutting boards, and many of them are quite exotic in design and wood type. This blog will give you some of the benefits for wooden cutting boards. Traditionally, cutting boards were all made of hardwoods. That is the natural, hard surface that we have available to us on this Earth. When it comes to the materials that come in contact with your foods, you may wish to choose wood, because no matter how exotic the wood, it will still be a natural substance and will not cause you harm if it comes in contact with what you put into your body. Wooden cutting boards can be made in high quality and exotic designs that other glass and plastic typically won’t use. The biggest factor many people talk about is contamination between foods when you use the same cutting board for different foods. The materials in your cutting board can absorb water and hold in bacteria, which can bet transferred to your foods. While wooden cutting boards are typically not good to put into the dishwasher, they are natural and must be cleaned by natural cleaners. They are also easier on knife edges. With these features of a wooden cutting board to consider, it may be easier to make your decision and know that the quality wood board you’ll get from Carolina Wood Designs is right for you.

For best sanitation of your wood board, you’ll want to use a natural oil to first oil and let it absorb into the wood, which will create a less-absorbent surface. You can also mix a vinegar solution to clean the board thereafter. If your cutting board ends up with too deep cuts and slashes, you may need to contact us for a new exotic wood creation—you never want to risk bacteria being harbored in those deep cuts.

Make sure you use different boards when you prepare raw foods that may have contaminants and germs in them. Make sure your wooden boards are completely dried before storing them, so that you don’t accumulate bacterial growth or decay. We can help you re-sand your wooden cutting boards, too.

Exotic Wood Cutting Boards…

Carolina Wood Designs is a manufacturer of exotic wood cutting boards, wooden cutting boards that have intricate, customized designs, as well as other products such as quality cigar humidors, wine toppers, and other furniture. We are obviously big supporters of quality in wood designs, so we like to promote wooden cutting boards! This blog, however, will give you some counterexamples to wood cutting boards by describing the nature of plastic boards and glass boards.

Similar to our exotic designs and quality in our wood products, a glass cutting board is also an often beautiful and versatile board. They are very durable, resistant to heat, and are the most sanitary and easy to clean because they are not very porous and they do not get cuts in them easily. Wooden boards are more porous, but you can oil them and make it so they close up well. The only issue about glass boards is that they are very hard on knife edges, and the actual sound produced when someone uses them is quite harsh to the ear. The wooden board’s sound against a knife can actually be pleasing, on the contrary.
Similarly, looking at a beautiful humidors cigar in exotic wood is pleasing. The wooden product tends to be more than just a product, and doubles as art. Plastic boards tend to be the most affordable, but they are also the least natural and can let toxins from the chemical plastic seep out into your food over time. They are flexible and can be made in lots of different colors so you can separate boards for sanitary purposes. They usually don’t last as long as wood boards, and they leave deep grooves from cutting, which can also fray and collect food.

Intricate Cutting Board Designs

Carolina Wood Designs is a wood and carpentry company where we customize everything to you, and create individual items that are uniquely yours. We create challenging and intricate cutting board designs with different types of high-quality woods. This blog will provide you with a few safety tips to ensure you have the best cutting board experience possible. New wooden cutting boards usually do well to have a food grade mineral oil rubbed into them and to set in. All you have to do is apply the mineral oil to a soft cloth and rub the oil into the board circularly and generously.

Let it set in for about 5 minutes, when the board’s porous wood will absorb most of the oil. These cutting board designs aren’t flawed because they absorb the moisture. This is perfectly natural, but to fill in the board with the oil prevents water from filling it in, instead, which is a harborer of bacteria. Apply the oil until it doesn’t absorb anymore. Whenever your cutting board looks dry, light in color, or worn out, you can re apply the oil and create a fresh finish. Wood boards are some of the best cutting boards available, but you have to take care to treat them properly, because wood decays more easily than plastic if not cared for properly. Make sure you don’t apply too much water or totally submerge the board. Don’t run it through a dishwasher either, as that is often too rough and will weaken the board. You can use a rough sponge, however, and rub it down with hot water, and lightly rinse it clean. Wooden cutting board do great with a natural vinegar sanitizer, so you don’t have to pollute your surface with synthetic chemicals. If you follow these practices, you will maintain your Carolina Wood Designed board as the best cutting board you’ve had!

Best Cutting Boards

They are arguably some of the best cutting board designs out there, because we have seen many different situations and design preferences, so we have been able to assimilate and create new designs continually.

Cutting boards are actually prone to passing germs and bacteria between food, because many people don’t pay close attention to how they are cutting food, what foods they are cutting on the same boards, and how well they’re cleaning the boards.

 The biggest issue in sanitation is the passing of germs from one food to the next in cutting. You may cut raw chicken, wash the board lightly, and then soon after start cutting strawberries. The germs that tend to thrive in raw meat will not completely be washed away by water. Additionally, people often think that they are wiping a cutting board clean with a dish towel, when in fact the towel itself harbors other bacteria. We suggest using different cutting board designs for each type of food you prepare—one design for meat, one for fruit, one for cheese, etc. Carolina Wood Designs are many of the best cutting boards you can find. Make sure to wash your cutting boards with hot, soapy water after every use and let them dry thoroughly—not just briefly. Coat them with a finish to seal the wood and prevent bacteria from growing in them. With these cutting board safety tips, you’ll be sure to utilize your best cutting board potential!

In this blog, we will discuss differences between wood and plastic cutting boards. Carolina Wood Designs’ boards are obviously, well, wood! But perhaps this will dispel questions about why you might choose a wood board over a plastic one. . The differences between the best cutting boards of wood, and then the best cutting boards made from plastic, are give and take, you might say. While wood boards are great in certain ways, plastic boards are as well. Usually the cutting board designs of wood are more interesting. One of the main issues is that of bacteria growth in the grooves that a knife makes on cutting boards. Wooden boards tend to be cut into more easily, so people assume and argue that bacteria grows in them faster than in plastic boards.

However, interestingly, wooden cutting boards actually fare better when tested by studies. Plastic ended up staying wet longer, which means that bacteria survive on the surface longer. You more easily pass bacteria back and forth between food in this way. Wood is water absorbent and the water dries up more quickly, meaning that bacteria cannot survive there. Wood also contains natural antibiotic agents that act as cleaners on the wood board. Wooden Cutting board must not be cleaned with harsh chemicals, which means you won’t be passing sanitizing chemicals into your food, either. The delicate cutting boards designs you’ll find at Carolina Wood Designs are natural, clean, and unique.
