Cutting & Chopping Board Oil Mineral

The Local Wood’s Cutting & Chopping Board minral oil, is a type of oil used to maintain and protect wooden Cutting & Chopping Board, butcher blocks, and other wooden kitchen utensils. The primary purpose of using board oil is to prevent the wood from drying out, cracking, and absorbing food odors. Here are some key points about chopping board oil.

To use mineral oil on a chopping board:

1. Clean the Board: Make sure your chopping board is clean and free of any food debris.
2. Apply the Oil: Pour a small amount of mineral oil onto the board or use a soft cloth or paper towel to apply the oil evenly over the surface.
3. Spread the Oil: Spread the oil across the entire surface of the board, including the sides. Ensure that you cover the entire wooden area.
4. Let it Sit: Allow the oil to penetrate the wood by letting it sit for several hours or overnight. This allows the wood to absorb the oil and helps in conditioning it.
5. Wipe Excess: After the oil has had time to penetrate the wood, wipe off any excess oil with a clean, dry cloth.
6. Repeat as Needed: Depending on how often you use the chopping board, you may need to repeat the oiling process periodically to keep the wood well-conditioned.

It’s important to note that using food-grade mineral oil specifically labeled as safe for cutting boards is recommended. Avoid using vegetable oils or other types of cooking oils, as they can turn rancid over time and may not be as effective in protecting the wood. Always follow any specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer of your chopping board.
