Sustainability and functionality go hand in hand, and our Wood Fibre Chopping Boards are no exception. If you’re looking to level up your kitchen skills while staying eco-friendly, you’re in the right place. We’re about to dive into why Wood fibre boards are the superior choice and how you can chop like a pro, all while reducing your environmental footprint.
WHY CHOOSE WOOD FIBRE?
Did you know that regular plastic chopping boards can shed microplastics with every slice? These tiny plastic particles often end up in our food and waterways. But with our Wood Fibre Chopping Boards, you can say goodbye to those nasties! Made from sustainable, natural fibers, they’re designed to be sturdy, gentle on your knives, and, best of all, they help prevent the release of microplastics. It’s a win for you and the planet!
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR WOOD FIBRE CHOPPING BOARDS
To keep your Wood Fibre Chopping Boards in top condition, a little TLC goes a long way. Here are some easy steps to ensure they lasts for years to come:
- Clean promptly: Hand wash your board with warm, soapy water after each use. Avoid soaking it in water, as this can damage the fibers.
- Dry thoroughly: Always dry your board upright to avoid moisture buildup, which can weaken the material.
- Avoid extreme conditions: While the board can handle high temperatures ( resistant up to 176 °C), avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or near a heat source to maintain its long-lasting durability.
PRO CHOPPING TIPS
Chopping like a professional doesn’t just make you more efficient—it keeps you safer too! Here are some expert-approved tips to help you slice and dice like a chef:
-
A sharper knife is a safer knife: Dull blades require more pressure, increasing the likelihood of slips and accidents. Keep your knives sharp to make precise, safe cuts.
-
Damp tea towel trick: Place a damp tea towel underneath your Wood Fibre Chopping Board to stop it from slipping. Stability is key when chopping, and this simple trick makes all the difference.
-
Always cut away from yourself: This is a golden rule in every kitchen. Direct your cuts away from your body to avoid any accidental injuries.
-
Curl your fingertips: When slicing, keep your fingertips tucked inward (a.k.a. the “claw grip”) to protect them from the blade. Your knuckles will guide the knife, making you quicker and more accurate.
-
Use the right board for the job: Our Wood Fibre Chopping Boards are tough but gentle, perfect for everyday chopping. And because they’re anti-bacterial and dishwasher-safe, they’re a sanitary choice for all your kitchen needs.
Switching to eco-friendly tools like our Wood Fibre Chopping Boards is one small step you can take to create a more sustainable kitchen. Not only do you reduce the risk of microplastics, but you also contribute to cutting down single-use plastic waste. Every chop counts when it comes to protecting the environment—and every board brings you closer to living plastic-free.
