Cutting Boards

Need commercial grade replacement for bleach to scrup cutting boards, etc - restaurant kitchen. Help?


Have changed nearly everything used over to better, more natural options - all waste goes into a septic system. That is why we want to find a strong but less potent remedy

A small amount of bleach will not harm a 'healthy' septic system. I use a hand-held steamer for disinfecting and use both bleach and steam on my cutting boards, but this would probably not be practical in a commercial setting. Be careful not to be too natural. Disinfection is essential to prevent food borne illnesses. Bleach is a very good and affordable disinfectant. I'm a retired hospital kitchen manager/supervisor. I've conducted numerous classes on food handling and safety. Most alternatives to bleach will not adequately kill dangerous bacteria, the ones that will adequately kill harmful bacteria costs 10-20 times more than bleach and are not 'natural'.
Check with your local board of health to comply with your legal requirements for cleanliness. Some commercial disinfectants will not be approved by your board of health. (bleach always is).

How to Make a Great Recycled Message Board or Chalk Board

Twice a year in my community, they have a "large garbage" pick up day. That is my favorite day!. I drag my family along, and we drive up and down the streets looking for buried treasure!

I found this great large white frame on top of a pile of appliances, I took it home and cleaned it up. It was solid wood, there was no picture or mirror, just the frame. My husband wanted to know.. what was I going to do with it?.. He visioned it ending up in his garage!

I cleaned it up, painted it white, and then I purchased a cheap piece of hardboard from my local lumber store, and it just happened to fit the frame, but they will cut it for you for a small fee if you can't cut it yourself. My frame was 2.5 x 4 feet.

I inserted it into my frame, and I then glued a piece of flat trim I had kicking around the house (I am a pack rat!) about 1/4 of the way down to give the appearance of a separate section. I painted the largest section with blackboard paint (Its probably best to do this before inserting it into the frame) I used 3 coats and make sure its good and dry, I then created a painting in the top section. My passion is painting, but if you don't like to paint, you could frame a cross stitch in there, or decoupage photo copies of pictures, family vacations, or you could rubber stamp a design... your imagination is your limit.

I hung this in my kitchen and its a great way to keep in touch with your growing kids!, they can just quick scribble in chalk on the board where they will be or phone numbers etc. If you don't like the idea of a chalk board, then you could get a roll of cork from the hardware store or cork tiles and glue them to the hardwood and use pins for messages..

This was a great way to use a good wooden frame that just needed some TLC, that would have otherwise ended up in the dump. Recycling is good for the earth, its good for your creative soul, and its good for a craft business.. as every piece is unique. Also watch out for cupboard doors, they can make great pieces of art, as there tends to be trim on them that makes them look framed, you can use crackle paint to make it look even older, or old jewelry boxes, cutlery boxes, stools, its amazing what you can find out there. That saying "one persons trash is another persons treasure" is so true!

Description

Although this Gripperwood Bamboo Cutting board has the superior characteristics of hardwood products, Bomboo is classifies with the grass family. This makes it a fast growing, naturally renewable material with the same level of durability as the hard woods. Environmentally sound, food-grade laminates ensure food safety.

Architec is hopping on the green bandwagon by implementing eco-friendly elements in both its manufacturing process and end products. One of their new lines consists of products made from bamboo. A quick-growing grass, bamboo is renewable and tree-saving, with many of the same attributes as wood. The Gripper cutting board, for example, made of laminated strips of bamboo, is strong and durable, won't absorb moisture, and won't harm knives. The glue used in the lamination process is food-safe. Soft rubber pads, securely anchored beneath each corner without glue, grip the 11-by-14-inch board to the counter to prevent slipping during use. After use, simply wash The Gripper by hand. Look for other sizes of Architec bamboo cutting boards, as well as innovative cork cutting boards. Removal of cork bark doesn't hurt the tree, which keeps growing and producing more bark. All good news for the planet. --Ann Bieri

Features

  • Bamboo cutting board stays put thanks to soft rubber feet
  • Made of laminated strips of bamboo, a renewable, earth-friendly resource
  • As strong or stronger than wood; won�t harm knives
  • Company eco-programs include bamboo and cork products
  • Measures 11 by 14 inches; wash by hand
