Knives
and Boards
To save time,
purchase a great set of knives. Then have one board to carve meat,
one
to cut meat before cooking, a smaller
vegetable chopping board and a stay-in-one place
pastry board. You
can add a few smaller boards
for slicing a lemon or
chopping just one onion. I prefer to use
one board for meats
and
one for vegetables. The polypropylene boards can go
in the
dishwasher, unlike most wood boards, so they are
great for meat
preparation.

Catskill Craftsmen Square Wood Chopping...
Groovy Board... October
6, 2000
For chopping vegetables, there is nothing like chopping them
with a nice sharp knife on a great wood chopping block. The
groove helps to catch the juices from various vegetables, like
tomatoes. You might want to consider a polypropylene board with
a groove for other vegetables, such as beets! One thing I
discovered quite by accident, you can't chop chocolate on a
wooden board. It will pick up a strange flavor from the wood. I
suggest polypropylene or marble for chopping chocolate. You will
want at least two of these great boards. I suggest that you use
a separate board for vegetables and use a polypropylene board
for meats.

Round Chopping Board
Trudeau 16x12-Inch Polypropylene Cutting...
Great for meat preparation! October 6, 2000
I use my polypropylene board for meat preparation since it is
dishwasher safe. I have been known to ruin small wood chopping
boards by putting them in the dishwasher. They eventually warp
and I have to toss them. So, this saves me money in the long run
and makes me feel good as it can be put in the dishwasher.
