Care and food safety
A wooden board lasts for decades if it stays clean, dry and oiled.
Everyday care
- Wash by hand with warm, soapy water, rinse, and wipe dry.
- Dry it standing on edge so air reaches both sides.
- Never put it in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Standing water is what cracks and warps wood.
- When the wood looks pale or dry, rub in food-grade mineral oil or board butter, leave it overnight, and wipe off the extra. About once a month is typical.
- Keep epoxy boards away from hot pans and out of strong sun.
Cutting, serving and epoxy

Our epoxy is [brand and product name], which its maker states complies with FDA 21 CFR 175.300 once fully cured. Every board cures for at least [number] days before it's sold.
The wood is finished with [finish brand and type].
