FAQs
What material is the chopping board made from?
The chopping board is made from Hevea wood, which is a type of rubberwood known for its durability and sustainable sourcing.
How do I clean the bread board?
You should wipe the board clean only with a damp cloth. Never submerge it in water or put it in a dishwasher.
Is the crumb channel effective?
Yes, the carved channel is designed to catch bread crumbs and small debris, helping to keep your kitchen counter clean during and after slicing.
Can I use this board for chopping meat or vegetables?
While the wood is resilient, it is best used for bread and pastries. Heavy chopping of hard items like meat or root vegetables can damage the wood and shorten its lifespan.
How often should I oil the board?
It's recommended to oil the board with food-grade mineral oil periodically, perhaps once a month, or whenever the wood appears dry, to maintain its condition and prevent cracking.
What are the dimensions of the board?
The board has an approximate diameter of 31cm (11.75 inches) and a height of 2cm (0.75 inches).
Does the wood have any special properties?
Yes, the Hevea wood used is naturally resistant to odours and stains.
Troubleshooting
Board appears dry or is showing signs of cracking.
Apply a generous coat of food-grade mineral oil to the entire surface. Let it soak in for several hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess. Repeat periodically as needed.
Surface has absorbed a strong odour.
Try rubbing the surface with half a lemon and then rinsing with water. Ensure the board is dried thoroughly immediately afterwards. For persistent odours, consider baking soda paste applied to the surface, allowed to sit for 15 minutes, then rinsed and dried.
Visible stains on the surface.
For minor stains, try a paste of baking soda and water. Gently scrub the stained area, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Deeply set stains may be difficult to remove completely from wood.
Board feels 'sticky' after cleaning.
Ensure you are using a damp, not wet, cloth and that the board is dried completely. Residual moisture can make the wood feel tacky.
