How to Treat a Cutting Board: Use & Care

Use

• Your board will arrive already seasoned and ready for use. We use a pharmacy grade, food safe mineral oil, followed by beeswax, for water resistance and protection.
• End Grain cutting boards are more scratch-resistant and easier on knives than other boards, but still avoid using serrated knives

Care

• When it comes to how to treat a cutting board, hand-wash with hot, soapy water and always dry thoroughly.
• Never soak or submerge board in water, or place in the dishwasher.
• To help maintain water repellency, apply our Board Butter (or a combination of heated mineral oil and beeswax) to the cutting surface periodically. First clean and sanitize the board, then apply paste with a soft cloth. Rub into the surface and wipe off any excess.
