Q: Why is a thick silicone board the best non-toxic product swap for my kitchen?
Friendly Advice: Most people stick with plastic because it's easy and dishwasher safe. Thick silicone gives you that same ease but without the petroleum. Here is a Truth Check: It's the best non-toxic product swap because it doesn't shed microplastics, and the 5mm thickness means it won't slip or warp like thin plastic mats.
Q: How to reduce microplastics exposure at home using a Liflicon silicone cutting board?
A Healthy SHIFT: You can immediately cut your plastic exposure by tossing your old, scarred plastic boards. Because this board is made of silicone, knife marks don't create "plastic dust." To keep it perfectly clean, you can actually boil it for 5 minutes or put it in the microwave to kill every germ—something you could never do with plastic!
Q: Why shouldn't I just buy a "BPA-Free" plastic board for my kids?
The Manufacturer Lie: "BPA-Free" is a safety claim that hides the bigger problem. Even without BPA, a plastic board is still made of chemicals that shed into your food as you cut. A silicone board is a chemical-free home product choice that is naturally safe because it’s made from sand-based minerals, not oil-based polymers.
Q: Will my sharp knives cut all the way through this board?
A Healthy SHIFT: While no silicone is "knife-proof," the 5mm thickness of the Liflicon is designed to be knife-mark resistant. You won't cut "through" it like a thin mat. It's a smart swap for non-toxic home products because it protects your counter and your knife edge at the same time.
Q: Can I use this board for things other than cutting?
Truth Check: Absolutely! This is a great eco-friendly home product choice because it's multi-functional. Since it's heat-resistant up to 482°F, it's the perfect large trivet for hot pans, or even a non-stick mat for rolling out sticky dough in the freezer.
