Cutting Board Care Kit Oil and Wax

Cutting Board Care Kit with oil and wax: nourishes the wood and protects the surface

The cutting board care kit gives cutting boards and other wooden items a two step treatment. First a thin mineral oil that soaks into the fibres and saturates the wood, then a beeswax based wax that forms a protective layer on the surface. A board that gets regular care dries out less and cracks less.

Washing and drying pull moisture out of the wood over time. The oil replaces it, and the wax makes water and meat juices bead on the surface instead of soaking straight in. The treatment also brings out the colour and grain of the wood, so a worn board looks fresher. The kit suits cutting boards, butcher blocks, salad bowls and wooden kitchen utensils.

Features

• Step 1, oil: Pure mineral oil that soaks into the wood and stops it drying out and shrinking.
• Step 2, wax: Beeswax and oil that polishes the surface and makes water and meat juices bead.
• Never goes rancid: Mineral oil does not go rancid, unlike cooking oils.
• Brings out the wood: Highlights the glow, grain and contrast in the wood.
• For all woodware: Cutting boards, butcher blocks, salad bowls and wooden utensils.
• Bamboo too: Can be used on bamboo boards.

How to use

1. Wash the board thoroughly and let it dry completely, ideally overnight.
2. Apply a generous layer of oil and let it soak in for at least 2 hours, or overnight if the board is very dry.
3. Wipe off any oil that has not soaked in.
4. Apply a thin layer of wax with a lint free cloth.
5. Let the wax dry for 10 to 15 minutes, then polish until the surface feels smooth.
