Your hardwood chopping board is a special helper in the kitchen. If you take good care of it, it can last for many, many years. Here is a simple guide to keep it looking and working great.
1. Clean it right after you use it
Wash your board with warm water and a little soap right away. Use a sponge or cloth. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Hot water and strong soap can hurt the wood.
2. Never let it soak in water
Do not leave your board in the sink full of water. Too much water makes the wood swell and crack.
3. Dry it standing up
After washing, stand the board on its side to dry. This lets air reach both sides. Never lay it flat on the counter to dry.
4. Oil it every month
Rub food-safe mineral oil or special board oil on the wood. Let it soak in for a few hours or overnight. Then wipe off any extra oil. This keeps the wood from drying out and cracking.
5. Use both sides
Flip your board over sometimes. This helps both sides stay even and strong.
6. Keep it away from heat
Do not put hot pots or pans on your board. Heat can damage the wood.
If you follow these easy steps, your hardwood chopping board will stay beautiful and strong for a very long time. It will help you cook happy meals for years!
