FAQs
What type of wood is this cutting board made from?
The cutting board is crafted from rubberwood, which is known for its durability and gentleness on knife blades. It is also FSC certified, indicating it comes from responsibly managed forests.
How do I properly clean the cutting board?
Clean the board with a damp cloth and mild soap after each use. Avoid submerging it in water or placing it in the dishwasher, as this can damage the wood. Always allow it to air dry completely, preferably standing upright.
Can I use both sides of the cutting board?
Yes, the board features a double-sided design. One side is smooth, ideal for general chopping, while the other side has a juice groove to catch liquids, making it perfect for carving meats or slicing juicy fruits.
Why is rubberwood better for my knives?
Rubberwood has a natural resilience and a moderate hardness. This means it yields slightly when a knife cuts into it, preventing the blade from dulling as quickly as it would on harder materials like glass, stone, or some plastics.
How often should I oil the cutting board?
It is recommended to oil the cutting board periodically, typically once a month or whenever it starts to look dry or feel rough. This helps maintain the wood's condition and prevents it from drying out or cracking.
What are the dimensions of this cutting board?
The dimensions of the cutting board are approximately 40 cm in length, 27.5 cm in width, and 2.5 cm in thickness.
Is this cutting board dishwasher safe?
No, this cutting board is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and prolonged moisture exposure in a dishwasher can cause the wood to warp, crack, or split.
Troubleshooting
Board appears dry or discolored
Apply a coat of food-grade mineral oil to the entire surface and let it absorb overnight. Wipe off excess. Repeat as needed.
Minor scratches or knife marks visible
Light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper can help reduce the appearance of minor scratches. Follow up with oiling.
Board has absorbed strong odors
Try wiping the surface with a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure proper drying.
Board feels slightly warped
Ensure the board is drying upright and not lying flat on a wet surface. Sometimes, leaving it for a few days in a dry environment can help it return to its original shape.
