Maintaining a cutting board is a quick and easy task that will keep your board sanitary, looking new and extend the life of your board. So we have put together these instructions to help you out.
Do not soak your boards or any other wooden utensils in water or they’ll crack and warp!
To DRY please place up right so the top and the bottom of the board can dry.
Instructions
- Clean the wood: You want your cutting boards to be as clean as possible and thoroughly dry. I like to use a half lemon and coarse salt, then wipe it clean, and let it dry thoroughly.
- Apply the oil: Using a clean, soft cloth or paper towel, apply the oil in an even layer over the wood.
- Let it soak in: Leave the oil to soak in, overnight if possible, or for at least a few hours.
- Remove the excess: Using a dry, clean cloth or paper towel, buff off any remaining oil so that the board does not feel damp or sticky.
