> 1. Cut back on bottled water
Can't live without spring water and only a specific brand at that. I tried tap water and even filtered water but it tastes so horrible that I am barely able to drink 2-3 cups a day.
> 7. Use wood or bamboo cutting boards
I use the quartz (previously marble) countertops for cutting. My spouse hates me for it. Easier to maintain than wood boards (I obviously don't mind the scratches, it wasn't that shiny to begin with). Not sure about safety.
- kozd 2y agoDo you hate your knives?
- Kirby64 2y agoMaintaining a wooden cutting board isn’t that hard. Wipe it off with soapy water after use (the same as your countertops I hope) and then occasionally (monthly, or less often) add mineral oil to the board whenever the board looks “dry”. It also has the upside of not absolutely destroying your knives like using knives on a quartz countertop will do. You’ll save more time not sharpening knives than you would maintaining a wooden cutting board.
- toxicdevil 2y agoMy wooden boards always get black for some reason.
- Kirby64 2y ago… how? Are you washing them in the dishwasher? Leaving them soaking in water? Simple soap and water and drying them mostly off should never cause issues.
