A note from your cutting board….
I am a multi-species end grain cutting board. If you take good care of me I will provide you with a reliable chopping surface for many years.
I can’t swim so please don’t let me soak in the sink for any length of time. I’m also terrified of the dishwasher so please please please never run me through the dishwasher!
I like a gentle sponge bath after I’ve been used. Warm to hot water with a mild, non-abrasive soap is my preference. I don’t like being wet for very long so please dry me off well immediately. After you dry me, please place me vertically against the backsplash to allow me to continue to air dry.
To keep me at my best, both aesthetically and functionally, I require regular applications of a mineral oil based product. My creator uses Howard Butcher Block Conditioner but any mineral oil based product (or food grade mineral oil from the pharmacy) works. I love oil treatment at least once a month if not more often.
Please keep me out of sunlight for extended periods of time. Also try to keep me away from intense heat sources. I am not a hot pad…I am wood and if you leave really hot things on me, I will burn.
Lastly, I am super heavy! If you drop me, get your feet out of the way…I’m afraid of what would happen if I landed on your toes!
