When it comes to food safety, avoiding cross contamination when dealing with raw meats is one way to prevent food borne bacteria from causing illness. Here?s an easy way to practice food safety in your kitchen.?Sur La Table?s Chop & Chop flexible cutting boards ($7.95) are made of a flimsy, but strong plastic that you simply use over your existing board to avoid seepage of dreaded chicken goo (or whatever goo) into your wood board. They are even color-coded and illustrated with symbols that let you know what to cut on each. When done with the chicken, toss that baby into the dishwasher and your wood board underneath is clean for veggies.
