How To: Knives and Boards

Kitchen confidence starts with knowing the tools.

Plastic boards are ideal for raw poultry because they are dishwasher-friendly and can be washed/sanitized with strong cleansers.
Never put wood boards in the dishwasher.
Do not let your board (wood or plastic) remain dirty for long after use, as it will become harder to adequately clean and may become damaged.
To remove odors and stains from a butcher block board, rub the surface with kosher salt. Leave the salt on the board for a few hours to absorb moisture.*
