FAQs

Can I use this board for meat and vegetables?

Yes, but ensure you clean and sanitize the board thoroughly between tasks to prevent cross-contamination.

Is this dishwasher safe?

No. Dishwashers will cause the wood to warp, crack, and lose its natural finish.

Why is end grain better for knives?

End grain allows the knife edge to pass between the wood fibers rather than severing them, which keeps your blades sharper for much longer.

Does it need regular oiling?

Yes, monthly oiling is recommended to maintain the moisture content of the teak and protect it from bacteria and cracks.

What should I do if the board warps slightly?

Wood is a natural material and can react to humidity changes. Keep it away from direct heat sources and ensure you dry it evenly on both sides after washing.

Troubleshooting

The board feels dry or looks faded

Apply a generous layer of food-grade mineral oil to the surface and let it absorb overnight before wiping off the excess.

Board is wobbling on the counter

Ensure the surface underneath is flat and clean. You can place a damp paper towel or a non-slip silicone mat underneath the board to increase stability.

The board has picked up strong food odors

Rub the surface with a cut lemon and coarse salt to neutralize odors, then rinse lightly and re-oil immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Apollo Teak Endgrain Cutting Board stays in peak condition, follow these guidelines:

Initial Setup: Before the first use, wash the board with warm water and mild soap, then allow it to dry completely. We recommend applying a coat of food-grade mineral oil or beeswax before the first session.

Cleaning: Never submerge the board in water or place it in the dishwasher. Clean by wiping with a damp cloth or hand-washing with mild soap. Dry immediately with a towel and let it air-dry standing upright.

Maintenance: To prevent drying or splitting, re-apply food-safe mineral oil once a month, or whenever the wood appears dry or pale. This preserves the natural richness of the teak and keeps the wood sealed against moisture and odors.
