As part of a shift toward healthier lifestyles, people are beginning to reflect on some of their habits that may be negatively affecting their health. But one area they might not be considering is an unexpected source of harm: their kitchen tools.
Unfortunately, when one uses a plastic cutting board, every slice of the knife — especially when using a dull knife — releases tiny microplastics into the food. Given the negative health effects that microplastics can have on human health, down to the cellular level, scientists have begun recommending that consumers move away from traditional plastic boards and use hygienic, healthy cooking tools.
Why using plastic cutting boards and wooden boards is bad for your kitchen hygiene
As an alternative to plastic, many companies have introduced wood-based cutting boards. Yet, while wood products do not carry the risk of ingesting microplastics, they have their own drawbacks.
Wood is a porous material, meaning that wooden boards can absorb moisture and bacteria into their cutting surfaces, and it is difficult to fully clean these products, no matter how hard you scrub. As a result, wood cutting boards pose a greater risk of cross-contamination. They also tend to quickly retain odors and stains and warp over time, making them an undesirable addition to the kitchen.
Indeed, the better alternative to plastic and wooden cutting boards is titanium, such as the products produced by Apex Titanium. Apex Titanium offers original, 100% Japanese titanium cutting boards that are non-toxic, non-porous, and gentle on knives, which has earned the company the trust of thousands of consumers worldwide.
The ultimate titanium kitchen tool: A non-toxic, easy-to-clean cutting surface with no microplastics
The reasons titanium makes such a great material for the kitchen are much the same as those that have made it one of the most commonly used materials in the medical sector. Titanium is biologically inert, meaning that it does not react with the human body. It does not leach or corrode.
And since titanium is non-porous, unlike wood cutting boards, it is naturally antibacterial and easy to clean. Although titanium boards require a specialized manufacturing process to be made well enough to hold up under the rigorous conditions of kitchen use, once this process was cracked, some of the best kitchen products ever made were born.
The biggest advantage of purchasing Apex Titanium products over plastic or wood boards is their durability. However, durability doesn’t just mean a product holds up well under use; it also means you don’t have to replace it frequently.
Plastic and wood cutting boards are designed to be replaced, which is bad for both your wallet and the environment. Apex Titanium products are built to last a lifetime, which may seem like an unwise financial decision to the company, but represents the team’s confidence that people will love the product and create great word of mouth.
Although Apex Titanium’s products are built to last longer than other materials on the market, the company still operates with a philosophy of continuous refinement. The company’s best is only its best until it is released, then it becomes the floor for them to improve upon. Using customer feedback, obsessive testing, and continuous innovation, the Apex Titanium team ensures that every version of a product they release is better than the last, and that every version they put out in the future will continue to be an improvement.
But Apex Titanium’s greatness does not stop with its pure titanium cutting board sets. The company offers high-quality titanium products for all the daily use kitchen needs of a home cook, including non-stick pans, kitchen knives, and other common kitchenware. For the Apex Titanium team, the sky is the limit as they commit to being the leading innovators in durable, ethical, and high-quality kitchen equipment.
