Can I cut raw meat on this board?

Can this board be used as a trivet for hot pans?
Yes, the board can be used as a trivet to protect your surfaces from hot dishes. However, avoid placing extremely hot items directly from the stovetop for extended periods.
How should I maintain the board's appearance?
Regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner to keep the bamboo moisturized and prevent it from drying out or cracking. Ensure it is always dried thoroughly after washing.
Troubleshooting
Board appears dry or dull
Apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner to the bamboo surface and wipe off excess. Repeat as needed to maintain moisture.
Minor stains or odors on the surface
Gently scrub the affected area with a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. For persistent odors, try rubbing with half a lemon.
Warping or cracking
This is often due to improper drying or prolonged exposure to moisture. Ensure the board is always dried thoroughly after washing and stored in a stable environment. Minor warping may sometimes resolve on its own, but significant damage may render the board unusable.
