How To Care For Your Cutting Board Always handwash and apply mineral oil regularly. Never place it in the dishwasher for cleaning. Too much water too much heat will damage your hardwood cutting board. To bring back the smooth surface when you first bought your cutting board, use a fine sand paper over the surface of the dry cutting board (never sand the cutting board when it is wet), apply mineral oil once again, let it dry and you are good to go. Never use Vegetable oil! If you follow these instructions, your cutting board will last for years.

Why use wood instead of plastic? In a study conducted at the University of Wisconsin, scientists tested bacteria known to produce food poisoning: Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli. The study showed that three minutes after contaminating a wooden cutting board, 99.9% of the bacteria had died, while none of the bacteria died on plastic. Bacterial numbers actually increased on plastic cutting boards held overnight at room temperature, but the scientists couldn’t recover any bacteria from the wooden surfaces. In another German study, bacteria were placed on cutting boards made from seven different species of wood and from plastic. All the wooden boards consistently outperformed the plastic. Basically, wooden cutting boards kill bacteria. Wood absorbs water, which bacteria need to grow. Wood also contains antimicrobial compounds that are part of the tree’s immune system. A wooden cutting board will add an extra line of defense to your kitchen.
