Exciting Career in Woodworking

SEATTLE, WA

Bacteria is everywhere and harmful strains can spread quickly if proper cleaning measures are not followed. The National Sanitation Foundation's web site says:"There is a difference between cleaning and disinfecting. Cleaning generally means that dirt is being removed, while the term disinfecting means that germs are being removed. While surfaces may look clean, many infectious germs can be lurking. Under certain conditions, some germs can live on surfaces for hours and even for days." 

Plastic cutting boards can harbor bacteria in the knife grooves.  We've witnessed white plastic cutting boards that have turned black with heavy use. This is caused when the bacterial contaminate has penetrated so deeply into the board that soapy water or antibacterial solutions can't reach and eliminate the problem.

Stay Safe by Limiting Cross-Contamination 

Transferable bacterium found on raw meat and produce can spread when a person touches an infected preparation service and then touches a food item. This is referred to as cross contamination. In addition to hand washing before food prep, make sure your cutting boards are made of a non-porous material such as READ's composite wood fiber laminate boards. Keep surfaces separate. Designate one cutting board for fruits and vegetables and another one for raw meats. If you only have one cutting board, always disinfect it and rinse thoroughly before using it on another food item.  

The Premiere Food Prep Choice for Over 40 years 

Commercial chefs use READ Cutting Boards because the composite laminate is remarkably impact resistant, yet does not dull expensive knives. Bakers, in the food service trade, use our wood fiber boards for bakery tabletops or crown their mobile work bases with custom tops that are made to their specifications. The pizza industry uses wood fiber laminate pizza peels to insert and remove pizza from their ovens or to serve piping, hot pizza. They also take advantage of "Equal Slice" boards that assist them in assuring that each portion is even. We also offer stirring utensils made of Woodfiber Laminate. READ utensils will not scratch away non-stick surfaces and will not melt like plastic or rubber. The dense surface resists stains and is dishwasher safe.  Pot stirring paddles are strong and they don't float - which takes the work out of stirring.  The handles stay cool because they do not conduct heat.

Our products are created from an ecologically friendly fusion of natural wood fiber coupled with a laminate. Since 1962, this material has been a surface preferred by restaurants and commercial kitchens throughout the world. We supply this first-rate commercial surface to any business that is concerned about providing it's food handlers with the best product at the best price.

In fact, a related product is used on skateboard and BMX ramps in professional skateparks because of the durable properties that make it weather resistant and allow it to be renewed by resurfacing.
