Cutting board, don’t buy it again: 2 ingredients and it will be as good as new | The secret of all butchers. (Page 2 ) | August 3, 2024

Clean the cut with two simple ingredients that everyone has at home

The first thing you should do is  clean it thoroughly every time you use it  to prepare fish dishes and recipes. For optimal cleaning,  you only need two natural ingredients  that work miracles and that we all have at home. Unlike chemical products, they are not harmful to health.

It is a question of lemon and coarse salt  , which can be used to make a kind of exfoliant on the cutting board,  removing any trace of dirt  present on the surface. The process is very simple and only takes a few minutes.

First, remove any residue or stains that can be cleaned with a cloth or sponge soaked in water. Then,  cut a lemon and rub it  over it, as if it were a sponge. Then, use it to rub the coarse salt over it, in this case doing the same job as the abrasive sponge.

That’s why we insist  on the dirtiest areas  , or those that smell the most. Where you want to achieve greater cleanliness, it is better to let the mixture act for a few minutes and then wash everything with warm water. Do the same on the other side and then you can  air dry it  , after having absorbed the excess water, with a towel or cloth. The most important thing is that it is dry before storing it.

Cutting board too dry, the ideal solution

If too much time passes between cleaning and use  , the surface is probably too dry. So before using the previously sanitized cutting board,  pour a few drops of mineral  or olive oil on it. Then wipe it with some absorbent paper and dry it well to remove any traces of oil.

It is  advisable to avoid using chemical detergents  to clean the cutting board, because over time, use ruins the wood. Also, since it is an absorbent material, you run the risk of having food that comes into contact with the surface  smell like soap immediately after cleaning it  . Certainly unhygienic.

Daily cleaning, this is what you can use instead of coarse salt and lemon

Those who want to perform a less aggressive daily cleaning, and therefore more delicate and quicker,  can simply use fine salt  instead of coarse salt. It is certainly more convenient and affordable. It can also be replaced by baking soda, which should always be rubbed directly with your hands.

In the case of both fine salt and bicarbonate,  rinse  with water, although not in large quantities, to avoid problems later in the drying phase. This is considered the most delicate cleaning remedy of all.

While the one involving the use of salt and lemon can be applied less frequently, for example once a month, or every time you cook dishes that involve the use of fish or foods that easily leave a bad smell.
