 Can you use a wooden board for raw meat?
So I just purchased a nice wooden board, end grain maple butcher's block type, and I intend to take good care of it (beeswax+mineral oil)!!
Question: is it really a big no-no to cut raw chicken, fish or meat on that board? Or is it ok? I've cut chicken on wooden boards for as long as I can remember, but now that I'm getting nice tools I want to make sure I do the "right" thing - if there's such a thing.
What are your opinions? Should I get a non-wood board for cutting my raw chicken? And if yes - which one would you recommend? |
