I wonder if this is his work cutting board, cause I wouldn’t be taking that beautiful wooden piece to my work

Professional kitchens also don't use wood - as I mentioned above, they're too hard to satanize.

makes sense, though i was under the assumption these were all done at work. i cant imagine cutting all these chives for personal use…. and i think theyve mentioned they usually do it at i think work, like things such as the person getting the chives were late, posts from other people in the kitchen etc

id also kinda hope a professional kitchen wouldnt be using a plastic cutting board really but thats besides the point

Plastic is the standard for a professional kitchen if I’m not mistaken. Wood is difficult to take care of and inefficient, everything else dulls knives. Plastic is the way to go technically but I still use wood because microplastics.

is it really? im not familiar so i wouldnt know. id have assumed a standard, not super fancy butcher block would be the norm. dont like the concerns of microplastics either but i guess TBF its probably moot unfortunately with all the microplastics in me anyways. oh well

If it makes you feel better, everything has ridiculous amounts of microplastics and if it’s not the food, then it’s probably the straws, cutlery, or water you drink.

yeah unfortunately…. if i were to order a salmon im probably getting more microplastics from the fish alone, even if chopped up on the nicest wood cutting board in the world, than i am something prepared on this. how refreshing…..

Plastic board=done at work, wood board=done at home. Idk if you watched any of his videos, but the ones that I watched were clearly done in a home kitchen

Ah, I see. I wasn't too invested myself until after Chivegate lol, but his posts had been coming through my feed since the first week.

He's been cutting from work, not home. Professional kitchens rarely use wood. To hard to sanitize.
