A cutting board is an indispensable kitchen companion — no matter which dish you’re cooking, before it gets boiled, stir-fried, curried, or fried, it has to pass over the cutting board first. Thanks to its greater durability compared to a plastic board, the “wooden cutting board” has become a favorite in Thai kitchens, prized for not transferring odors into the ingredients, keeping smells from lingering in whatever you cook.
But because of how it’s used over time, a wooden board can wear down, meaning mold or stains can eventually appear on its surface. For cleanliness and safety, Namjai wants to share “3 popular ways to beat mold on a wooden cutting board,” using tools and ingredients you can easily find at home.
Method 1
This one is quick, easy, and uses an ingredient you almost certainly have in your kitchen already. Simply pour hot water over the board while it’s resting in a basin or tub, and let it soak for 5 minutes. Then cut a lemon in half and rub it over the board until the stains lift off, finishing with another pour of hot water.
Method 2
Besides being used for baking or washing fruits and vegetables, baking soda is also an excellent cutting-board cleaner. Simply mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 400ml of water, pour it evenly over the board, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then scrape the surface with a spoon, focusing on areas with deeply embedded stains.
Method 3
Another great trick for boards that need a deep clean uses sandpaper and vinegar, both excellent at scrubbing and breaking down stains. Start by sanding the board with sandpaper, then wipe it all over with a cloth dampened in vinegar, leave for 5 minutes, and rinse with clean water.
Besides these 3 popular cleaning methods, home cooks should also keep an eye on their everyday cutting board for signs of wear, such as splinters coming loose or deep grooves forming, as these can be a signal that it’s time to retire the old board for a new one.
Because a good cutting board is “a cutting board free of mold” — keeping it by your side in the kitchen for a long time along with good hygiene, so whatever dish you prepare stays safe, letting you enjoy every meal worry-free.
“A clean cutting board is a big deal, but forgetting to keep Namjai in your kitchen is an even bigger one.”
