NounSingular cutting Plural cuttings cutting (plural cuttings)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Cutting is the separation of a physical object, or a portion of a physical object, into two portions, through the application of an acutely directed force. An implement commonly used for cutting is the knife or in medical cases the scalpel. However, any sufficiently sharp object is capable of cutting if it has a hardness sufficiently larger than the object being cut, and if it is applied with sufficient force. Cutting also describes the action of a saw which removes material in the process of cutting. Cutting is a compressive and shearing phenomenon, and occurs only when the total stress generated by the cutting implement exceeds the ultimate strength of the material of the object being cut. The simplest applicable equation is stress = force/area: The stress generated by a cutting implement is directly proportional to the force with which it is applied, and inversely proportional to the area of contact. Hence, the smaller the area (i.e., the sharper the cutting implement), the less force is needed to cut something. When referring to propagating plants, cutting is one of the methods that can be used. It involves cutting a part of the plant typically a healthy shoot, with sharp and sterile scissors or any other cutting device, and then placing the removed part in water. Some cuttings do not require water. Certain shoots when cut are able to grow when placed in vermiculite or potting soil. However, the former is the easiest to do as most shoots when cut from the main plant need time to grow roots, and then they are able to be transferred to potting soil. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is the safest cutting board to use? Q. As well as wooden cutting boards, we can now get nylon, glass, and flexible plastic cutting sheets. Which is the safest to use and easiest to clean? I am concerned about bacteria. Asked by Been there before - Fri Oct 10 08:37:48 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. Wood is the safest because of its antibacterial properties. This seems counter intuitive, but it has been shown to be the case experimentally (see source, below). One must, of course, wash the board, but the wood will take care of the few left over bacteria, essentially cleaning itself.

Can we use bleach to kill those nasty germs and reduce the risk of cross contamination? Asked by natalie - Tue Jul 22 18:51:34 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. Place the board in your dishwasher every once in awhile. Remember to use a separate board for beef and for veggies if you cook a lot. You can get the plastic cutting sheets at Wal-Mart pretty inexpensively and use those over the wooden one. I have used a wooden board for years and simply sponge it off with soapy water. I also use a small amount of bleach then rinse well. If it is stained use lemon and salt, which work well on a lot of things, and rub it in to the spot. Deep stains may be removed with sandpaper. If you wish to apply oil afterward, you can do so too after it has dried. I owned a restaurant for several years and always used a mild soap and water on the wooden chop blocks and oiled them from time to time.

Q. It seems like every time I cut onions, my wood cutting board smells like onions and makes the whole kitchen smell too, even after I clean it. Is there something else I can do to safely take out the odors without damaging the cutting board? Asked by simcrazee21 - Tue Jan 9 23:49:25 2007 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. Wooden cutting boards require a little extra care to ensure they will last a long time and keep you safe from any food borne bacteria. Clean both sides of the board with a damp cloth or sponge and a mild antibacterial soap. Rinse with hot water, wipe with a clean cloth, and allow it to dry in an upright position. Note: Do not immerse or soak your wooden cutting board. It will warp and damage the board for future use. Every few weeks, you will want to give it a little extra maintenance; generously sprinkle coarse salt over the surface of the board, and rub it with a sliced lemon. This will help remove stains and odors. If your cutting board is made from butcher block, you will also need to oil it once a month with a small amount of… [cont.] Answered by Mary R - Wed Jan 10 00:24:09 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Cutting"  news.google.com KSL-TV "We kind of wanted to send a message to employees that these are tough times and we need to be cutting back," he said.
