FAQs
Can I use this board for heavy chopping?
The reverse side is designed for chopping, but for extensive or very heavy-duty chopping, it is recommended to use a dedicated cutting board to preserve the serving side's finish and the board's overall longevity.
What type of wood is it made from?
The board is made from acacia wood.
How often should I oil the board?
It is recommended to oil the board every 1-3 months, or whenever it looks or feels dry. More frequent oiling may be needed in dry climates or with heavy use.
Is the board dishwasher safe?
No, the board is strictly hand wash only. Dishwashers can cause the wood to warp, crack, or lose its finish.
What are the dimensions of the serving board?
Please refer to the product's specific dimensions listed on the retailer's page for exact measurements.
Can I put hot dishes directly on the board?
While acacia wood is relatively heat resistant, it is best to use trivets or coasters under very hot dishes to prevent potential scorching or damage to the wood finish.
How do I remove a persistent smell from the board?
You can try rubbing the board with half a lemon and then sprinkling it with coarse salt, letting it sit for a few minutes before rinsing and drying thoroughly. Baking soda paste can also be effective.
Troubleshooting
Wood appears dry or dull
Apply a generous coat of food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner. Allow it to soak in for a few hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess.
Slight warping or cracking
Ensure the board is stored on a flat surface and away from extreme temperature fluctuations. If minor, re-oiling may help. Significant damage may require replacement.
Stains from food
For stubborn stains, try making a paste of baking soda and water, gently scrub the stained area, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Re-oil afterwards.
Board feels sticky after washing
Ensure all soap residue is thoroughly rinsed off and the board is completely dry. Over time, insufficient rinsing can lead to a sticky surface.
