How To Care For Your Butcher Block Table, Cutting Board and Kitchen Utensils

NEVER submerge cutting boards in sink of water - not even for a second!!! End Grain Wood is very porous and will soak up water causing the cutting board to crack. Wipe with hot, wrung out soapy dish cloth and towel dry. DO NOT put any hot pans or cans or anything metal on board. DO NOT put in dishwasher.

Regular Monthly Maintenance: Rub entire cutting board with mineral oil or Oz Fine Culinary Conditioner. Let it stand for 5-15 minutes before wiping off the excess oil or conditioner with a dry cloth or paper towel. Never use vegetable based oils. These oils can go rancid and create a health problem.

Wood products continue to live, breath, expand and contract as your environment changes. As your cutting boards acclimate, you may notice that the glue lines or wood fibers may rise. To make your cutting board feel like new again, rub the entire item with mineral oil. Use a finish sander and 320 wet/dry sandpaper, or apply hand pressure and sand in long strokes the length of the cutting board. The mineral oil acts as a lubricant and won’t clog the sandpaper. Wipe off the excel oil with a dry cloth or paper towel.

Ozark West uses Franklin’s Titebond III waterproof glue, and clear urethane that when cured, is a food safe non-toxic surface.
