Cutting Boards
Cutting boards are an often-overlooked way
that many people
develop food-derived bacterial illnesses. The best way
to
reduce your risk of ingesting dangerous bacteria is to use
two cutting
boards and to wash them thoroughly between
uses. Using just one cutting board
can lead to the transfer
of bacteria from raw meat to vegetables. This can
be
dangerous because you usually do not cook vegetables to the
same
extreme temperatures as meat, and thus the bacteria
might not be killed in
the cooking process. If you then
consume these vegetables, you may become ill
from bacterial
infection. Buy two cutting boards and specify one
solely
for meat and poultry and the other solely for vegetables
and
breads. Wash the cutting boards thoroughly after each
use and only use them
for their dedicated purpose.

Note
from Vanetta: I use wonderful flexible cutting boards. They are inexpensive (a
set of 4 for less than $10) and can be washed in the dishwasher. They can be
purchased online at Practica.
I have given them as gifts many times and they are extremely
useful.
