DAILY CARE

The best advice I can give you about taking care of nice tools is to treat it like you spent $500 dollars on it, and you’ll be fine. A good cutting board is no different than a good knife, so common sense goes a long way. Here are a few pointers:

• Always wash and dry by hand.
• Dishwashers destroy wood. End of story.
•Thoroughly dry your board before putting it away in the cupboard. Damp wood in dark places tends to get mouldy.
•You have a gorgeous board, consider displaying it proudly on your counter.
•The board is made of wood, and will burn if you put hot pots and pans on it.
•Be gentle when using a serrated knife or cleaver on your board. The scratches and gouges can be deeper and harder to hide after the damage is done.

Here’s what you should never do with a good cutting board:

•Soaking your board in water. This will cause swelling and warping, which will eventually cause the joints and glue to break and twist apart.
•Never use super hot water to clean it. This will strip the waxes and oils from the board, drying it out to an extreme. It will need some conditioning to ensure it isn’t permanently damaged.
•Avoid using coarse steel wool or wire brushes, they can scratch your board deeply. Use a Tawashi Brush or the salty lemon trick in cases where you need aggressive scrubbing.
•Never use baking soda on your board. It will stain your cutting board, even when mixed with an acid.
•Don’t use abrasive or chemical cleaners. They aren’t necessary and can scratch the board, weaken the wood, or mess with the glue.

Q&A

Should i just use the beeswax before using or mineral oil then beeswax?
Hey Cindi, you can just use the same thing you would use on any other cutting board. Any cutting board wax, has mineral in it already also 👍 - Ellie
why before i click on the cutting board it says 38 and when after clicking it its 44 dollors
Hey Davyn, Thanks for getting in touch, it sounds like the website is accidentally switching between currencies, here. If the problem persists, I can send you an invoice, in USD, sorry for the confusion! - Ellie
