applefreak 1 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) actually it's not that expensive lah and it's supposed to be anti-bacterial, coz of the 'microban' that's 'infused' into the board material by right, bacteria will be repelled from the board, making food preparation more hygenic and it's more hardy so won't of knife marks so easily Edited May 4, 2008 by applefreak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xlan 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 ya.. n best ting i like.. is the 2 soft rubber ends.. it won't get moldy like the wooden chopping board that i used to have.. now no need to find place to hang it to dry.. jus place it on the dish drainer will do.. dry faster than wooden board as well.. cos no "absorption" mah.. n the other plus point is that.. when i slice ginger or dice garlic.. the wooden board would sort of "saw off" n lots of tiny wood grains came out n easily mix with my finely chopped garlic which is super hard to separate them out..

Cantona7 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2008 I strongly agreed on the premium brand knife, cos last x'mas while we were having party I took out my NTUC knife to slay off the turkey and we found it veri hard to cut then my frien took out his "TWO ppl" knife and it slay so smooth jus like cutting Toufu. And now my NTUC knife got rusty but I am wondering how come s/s knife still can get rusty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
