Cutting Board Care Instructions​ 

 

To keep your cutting board in top condition and ensure it lasts for years to come, follow these simple care guidelines:

​

1. Hand Wash Only
   Never place your cutting board in the dishwasher. High heat and excessive moisture can cause warping and damage the wood. Wash by hand using mild soap and warm water.

2. Dry Immediately
   After washing, always dry your cutting board immediately with a clean towel. To prevent warping, stand it upright in a cutting board stand or place it on a towel to air dry. Never let it soak in water.

3. Condition Regularly
   Wood can dry out over time. Use a food-safe cutting board conditioner or mineral oil to keep the board moisturized and maintain its rich appearance  Apply a generous amount and allow it to soak in overnight. For best results, condition your cutting board every 4-6 weeks, or as needed. Never use cooking oils such as olive or vegetable oil. 

4. Avoid Prolonged Sun Exposure
   Keep your cutting board out of direct sunlight for long periods. Sun exposure can cause the wood to fade and dry out, affecting its appearance and durability.

5. Use on Flat Surfaces
   Always use your cutting board on a flat, stable surface to avoid any stress that could cause cracking or warping over time.

6. Keep Away from Heat
   Avoid placing hot pots, pans, or trays directly on the cutting board. High temperatures can cause the wood to crack or burn.

By following these simple steps, your cutting board will continue to be a durable and beautiful addition to your kitchen for years to come.
