It turns out that cutting boards have many functions apart from being a basis for cutting food, you know.

Brilio.net - Cutting boards are one of the kitchen utensils that are often used every day. Apart from being a place to put food on, some people also use cutting boards as a basis when cutting various cooking ingredients. Not without reason, cutting boards have a flat and hard surface.

Generally cutting boards are made from plastic, rubber and wood and can come in various shapes. However, whatever the shape, this cutting board definitely has a hole at the end which functions as a handle to make it easier to move or pick up the cutting board.

Apart from that, quite a few people also use the hole to throw away various skins or rubbish when cutting food. But it turns out there are other functions that can be used from this cutting board hole, as shown by TikTok user @ummu_balqis_haura in his upload.

Reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @ummu_balqis_haura on Friday (12/7), the account owner showed his cutting board made of white plastic . At the beginning of the video, he is still using the cutting board for its function, namely as a base for cutting potatoes lengthwise.

After all the potatoes have been cut, he then washes them thoroughly before processing them into French fries. After the potatoes were clean, the account owner named Bilqis heated the oil in a frying pan. When the oil is hot, add the potato pieces directly.

Instead of adding them one by one, Bilqis actually placed the cutting board on top of the pan and pushed the potato pieces into the holes on the cutting board. Apparently, he used the hole in the cutting board to put potatoes in hot oil.

Because the shape is smaller than the hole, the potato pieces fall straight into the cooking oil without fear of the oil exploding. As is known, one of the challenges when frying potatoes is that the oil explodes, because potatoes still contain water.

Apart from that, this trick also protects your hands and face from oil splashes. Once it's a bit dry, set the cutting board aside. Stir the potatoes so they cook evenly. When cooked, the fried potatoes can be served with sauce as an accompaniment.

"Resists cooking oil splashes," he wrote in the video upload caption.
