His op-ed columns have appeared in the Denver Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Kansas City Star, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, San Jose Mercury-News, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Hartford Courant, Providence Journal, Wilmington News Journal, Burlington Free Press, and the Progressive Populist. If the chef would not use it, we are not producing it.Stan Cox is author of Losing Our Cool: Uncomfortable Truths About Our Air-Conditioned World (The New Press, 2010) and Sick Planet (Pluto Press, 2008). No matter your approach, Z Boards offer hands-on chef-driven creations. What a fun conversation piece! *winky face* Aside from direct allergies towards the specific wood species, there are no dangers in preparing food on the hardwood’s fungal attack.
While associating this with your food preparation surface may sound creepy, its distress vanishes once the visual of a finished board is attained. This fungus streaks greys and blacks through the guts of the tree leaving bizarre patterns in the grain structure and offers highlight to what remains. The ambrosia beetle bores holes in the maple species and instills a fungus that runs rampant in the tree’s structure. Many qualities that sound disturbing bring these woods some much appreciated spotlight time. Beetles and worms have tendencies to invade the tree’s barriers and manipulate is structure. It is through exploring the raw hardwoods that the boards’ integrity can be assessed however, even to the expert, results of what is inside the wood can vary. Or, simply resurfacing the wooden board and a fresh soak of mineral oil will bring the beauty right back. If you are avoiding physical marking, just remember there is a back side to display. On the brightside, the marks will create lifelong stories.
Due to the strength of hardwood from this angle, knife cuts will mark the board more noticeably, which will result in more texture and visual abrasions on the surface. If edge-grain structure were represented by a tree, its preparation surface would run lengthwise as if it were stretched up the tree. These results are sometimes masked when applied to an end-grain board. Curious? Edge-Grain Cutting Boards offer a unique visual display based on simple intent. Edge-grain cutting boards display these patterns across the surface -highlighting ribbons of wood fibers along the way. For example, Bird’s Eye Maple gives the visual texture of bumps across the surface while others replicate intricate ripples through water. In terms of Maple, there are multiple varieties that differ simply in grain-pattern. While their role is primarily strength, they do not lack in visual design. Culinarians and kitchen aficionados sometimes seek end-grain based on their constant daily usage. While some etching occurs, most is mitigated due to the strength in wood fiber ends. Knives glide between and across the ends of hardwood fibers. Z Boards end-grain and Butcher Blocks can be located here. This preparation takes hardwood on end and joins them in a way that maintains rigidity -creating your forever-space. Think of it as the direction the wood fibers are running -vertical. If end-grain structure were represented by a tree, its preparation surface would be the face of the stump -where the cross-cut was made. A true display of strength and integrity for your domain. The dominant trait for end-grain cutting boards is displayed in their ability to stand up to frequent usage and lifetime exposure.
