FAQs
What type of wood is this chopping board made from?
The chopping board is made from solid acacia wood, a tropical hardwood known for its durability and unique grain patterns.
How do I clean the chopping board?
Hand wash only with mild soap and warm water. Dry thoroughly immediately after washing and allow it to air dry completely. Never put it in the dishwasher.
Can I put the chopping board in the dishwasher?
No, dishwashers are not suitable for wooden chopping boards. The high heat and prolonged exposure to water can cause the wood to warp, crack, or split.
Why does my chopping board look different from the picture?
Each VidaXL chopping board is made from natural acacia wood, and the wood grains and colors naturally vary from piece to piece. This means every board is unique.
How can I maintain the chopping board to keep it in good condition?
Periodically treat the board with food-grade mineral oil to keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out or cracking. Allow the oil to soak in, then wipe off any excess.
What are the dimensions of the chopping board?
The dimensions are approximately 40 cm in length, 30 cm in width, and 4 cm in thickness.
Does the board have a handle?
The board features a convenient finger groove along one edge, designed for easy lifting and handling.
Troubleshooting
Board appears dry or shows minor cracking
Apply a generous coat of food-grade mineral oil to the entire surface of the board. Allow it to absorb for several hours, then wipe off any excess. Repeat as needed.
Persistent odors after chopping strong-smelling ingredients
Try rubbing the board with half a lemon or a paste of baking soda and water. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Board feels unstable during use
Ensure the board is placed on a flat, stable surface. Consider using a damp cloth or a non-slip mat underneath for added grip.
