Cutting Board Care
Wood cutting boards are a premium option and require special care.
Do’s
- Wash your cutting board with hot, soapy water using a dish brush or sponge
- Wipe dry and stand on its edge to completely dry before storing
- If it becomes excessively grooved from knife work, sand flat with 180 grit sand paper, then re-oil
- Or contact me and I can refurbish your board for a small fee
- Re-oil if it appears dry. Mineral oil is food safe and the easiest option. Wipe on, let it soak in, wipe off
- Use the natural mineral oil that came with your board. It’s petroleum free!
Don’ts
- Never put in the dishwasher, never store flat when wet, or leave in the sink or on a wet surface
- Don’t let raw food sit on the cutting board for long periods. Wash immediately after each use
- Do not submerge
- Excess water will destroy your board. Wash it and dry it immediately after each use and it will last a lifetime
