Cutting Board Teak Wood

Description

We developed our signature line of stain cutting boards to be both beautiful and functional. Designed to protect the sharpest blades, our wood boards also provide stability during use and look handsome enough to keep out on the counter. Our edge-grain carving boards offer an excellent value for an everyday essential you’ll use for carving and serving all year long, from the holiday table to summer barbecues.

Wash your cutting board (DO NOT SOAK) with soap and warm water and scrub well. The volume of water and mechanical scrubbing is more important than soap in flushing bacteria and other food particles off the board. After washing the cutting board, dry immediately with a towel and let it air dry standing up or on a raised rack with air flow.

DO NOT:

• Put the board in the dishwasher. The heat and water will warp and splinter the wood AND void warranties from most manufacturers. Only plastic, composite or glass boards can go into the dishwasher.
• Dunk or let the board in stand in water. The wood will absorb water and potentially warp.
• Use bleach. This will stain the wood and/or excessively dry the wood.
• Put a wet board flat to dry. If the board dries on one side, it will cause the wood to warp.

If your board has stains or smells, you can use lemon juice or white vinegar directly on the area. The acid in these liquids will neutralise the organic material or fats causing the problem.

Once your cutting board is thoroughly dry, apply “Fire Works cutting board oil” directly onto the surface of the board. Be generous with the application, especially if the wood is dry or you just purchased the cutting board or butcher block. You want the surface to be dripping wet on all sides and we recommend using a non-absorbing material or new paint brush to spread the oil (try not to soak up the oil), as using your hands may lead to accidental splinters. Most importantly, let the oil soak into the cutting board for as long as possible; at least a few hours or overnight if possible.

Let your cutting board sit on a wire rack or upright to dry when done. If you are restoring or seasoning an old, dry or new cutting board, you may wish to repeat this process two more times, to ensure your cutting board is completely seasoned.

We recommended you oil your cutting board every month or when dry to the touch.
