Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Health Food safety Cutting Boards Re: colored cuttingboards

[R Philip Dowds (rpdowds]

By Massachusetts state law, the Cornerstone Cohousing common kitchen is 
classified as "commercial", and accordingly has a commercial-grade Hobart dish 
sterilizer:  This equipment does not "wash" dishes, in the sense that it will 
remove hyper-baked-on mac and cheese, but it will sanitize them at super-high 
temp, and with commercial chemicals.

Eleven years of use, no problems or symptoms so far.

Life is full of risks, but let's not over-obsess.
