Archive for the ‘Marble Cutting Board’ Category
My mother has always been a wonderful hostess. During the holidays she’s seemingly always busy in the kitchen, cutting up meat, cheese, and preparing appetizers for our guests. She calls it a “labor of love”. This year, mom requested a marble cutting board for her Christmas present.
Of course I would do anything to make mom happy, but I couldn’t help but wonder “why anyone would want a marble cutting board simply to cut vegetables, meat, and cheese”. Mom patiently explained that she didn’t want the board only for cutting, but to roll dough, and to use as an elegant serving board. She continued to explain that, in contrast to wood and plastic, marble is not porous. This means you can cut meat on it, wash it, and not have any danger of salmonella and other “nasties” surviving on its surface.
