USE AND CARE 1. STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE The PREP-STATION is made of all welded #304 stainless steel. It is non-rusting and non- magnetic. To clean, use a commercially available, mild stainless steel cleaner. Always scrub in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool to clean the stainless surface. Do not use abrasives on the polished highlights. Be extra careful when cleaning around the highlights. Metal polisher or mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring back the luster on highlights.
Alaska Science Forum February 17, 1993 On the Chopping Block Article #1121B by Carla Helfferich This article is provided as a public service by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, in cooperation with the UAF research community. Carla Helfferich is a science writer at the Institute. Bad news arrived with an outspoken dinner guest. "You're carving on that?" she asked, pointing at the wooden board upon which the newly roasted duck awaited the knife. Well, yes, I was.
Within three minutes, 99.9 percent of the bacteria were unrecoverable and presumed dead. By the next morning, the researchers couldn't recover any live bacteria from the wood. Next, the scientists upped the germ count, inoculating the boards with a million or more bacteria apiece. Then they had enough survivors to work with, but not for long. Within two hours, again 99.9 percent of the bacteria had vanished. Cliver and Ak tried the same procedures with plastic cutting boards. All the bacteria survived.
