Reply to "Cutting Boards"

Yeah, forget board oil. Go to the drugstore and get mineral oil. Whatever you do, DO NOT use vegetable, olive, corn oil. Some nut oils are ok, like walnut, but the others will go rancid over time and ruin your board. And never, ever, ever put a wood board in the dishwasher!!!!!

For end grain boards, pour a bunch of oil on the board and let it soak in for about an hour, anything left after that time just wipe it off. End grain boards will absorb a lot of oil. For edge grain boards wipe on the oil let sit for about 5 minutes and wipe the remainder off.

To disinfect, use a solution of vinegar and water. No, you can't use your Carolina sauce on it even though it has vinegar in it! Wink

Wood boards are a lot of fun to make and make great gifts too! End grain boards take a little more time since there is more cutting involved, but something to do to keep you out of trouble.
