Wash boards immediately after raw meat, dry them thoroughly and always store them \u003cstrong\u003eupright in the holder\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than flat. Never put bamboo in a dishwasher: heat and prolonged water cause splitting along the grain. Oil them with food-safe mineral oil every month or two, which keeps the surface sealed and prevents absorption. Replace any board with deep knife grooves, since scored surfaces harbour bacteria that washing cannot reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a single board, four allow proper separation of raw meat, produce and cooked food. Against plastic boards, bamboo is kinder to knife edges and looks better on a counter, though plastic can be sanitised more aggressively. Against glass, bamboo does not blunt knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy four boards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeparation - raw meat, produce, cooked food and bread each get their own.
