What You Need:
  • Bamboo cutting boards

The bacteria from meat and poultry may stay on your cutting board long after you've pan-seared that baby up. If you're thinking of making a fresh salad and chopping up your greens on the same board, consider yourself warned: It's a no-no. Color-coordinate your boards! Better yet: Purchase a plastic board for your meats to make sure everything is as sanitary as possible.
