细菌最喜欢藏在家里的哪些地方？

6. Your cutting boards 切菜板

Washing your food before eating removes some germs, of course, and cooking meat kills dangerous bacteria like salmonella. And you probably know it's smart to chop meats and veggies on separate boards. Still, almost 25% of food-sickness outbreaks are the result of kitchen mistakes, such as using contaminated cutting boards.
食物在吃前洗一下当然能够去除一些细菌，肉经过烹饪可以杀死沙门氏菌等有害细菌。你可能知道切肉和切蔬菜的切菜板最好分开。不过，仍有差不多25%因食物引起的疾病都是由于厨房操作错误造成的，比如使用了被污染的切菜板。

Simple Fix 简单解决办法

If your food doesn't smell or feel right, throw it out. As for your cutting board, use glass or plastic, both of which are nonporous and most resistant to germs. When you're done with the board, wash it in hot, soapy water, and then spray it with a mixture of one teaspoon of bleach to 16 ounces of water that you keep in a clearly labeled spray bottle. Finally, rinse the cutting board again with hot water or toss it in the dishwasher. Got a beat-up board? Replace it. Bacteria can hide in a cutting board with lots of knife-cut indentations2.

如果你的食物闻起来或摸上去感觉不对，那么就该扔掉。玻璃或塑料材质的切菜板不会渗漏，预防细菌滋生效果最好。用完切菜板后，用热的肥皂水清洗，然后在16盎司(约28毫升)水中加入一茶匙漂白剂，将此混合液倒入一个喷雾瓶中，标识清楚，然后喷些混合液在切菜板上。最后，再次用热水冲洗切菜板，或者将它放入洗碗机里清洗。你的切菜板已经破旧了吗？换掉它。细菌可能会隐藏在切菜板上菜刀切破的凹口里。
