Wood Cutting Boards

Wood cutting boards are typically made from hardwoods such as maple, walnut, and cherry, although softwoods like pine and cedar are also used.

Clean your wood cutting board with warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly after each use. Avoid soaking the board in water or putting it in the dishwasher as this can cause warping and cracking. It's also important to regularly oil your board to prevent drying out and cracking.

Yes, wood cutting boards can be used for a variety of tasks, including chopping meat and vegetables. However, it's important to sanitize the board after each use to prevent cross-contamination. Use a solution of one part white vinegar to four parts water to sanitize your board.

The size of your cutting board will depend on your needs. Consider the size of your kitchen and the types of tasks you will be using the board for. A larger board may be necessary for preparing large cuts of meat or vegetables, while a smaller board may be more practical for everyday use.

It's recommended to oil your wood cutting board once a month, or more often if you use it frequently. Use food-grade mineral oil or beeswax to oil your board, and apply it with a clean cloth or paper towel. Let the oil soak in for a few hours or overnight before wiping off any excess.
