FAQs

Are these boards truly sustainable?

Yes, the boards are made from FSC® certified bamboo, which signifies that the bamboo is sourced from responsibly managed forests.

Can I put these boards in the dishwasher?

No, it is strongly recommended to hand wash these bamboo boards. Dishwashers can cause the wood to warp, crack, or split due to prolonged exposure to water and heat.

How often should I oil the bamboo boards?

It is advisable to oil the boards every 4-6 weeks, or whenever they start to look or feel dry. Regular oiling helps maintain the bamboo's condition and durability.

What is the benefit of an oil-finished bamboo surface?

The oil finish protects the bamboo, enhances its natural beauty, and provides a smooth, durable surface that is also naturally hygienic and gentle on knife blades.

Can I use these boards for serving food?

Yes, these boards are designed for dual use and are suitable for presenting food, such as cheese, bread, or appetizers, directly at the table.

Will these boards stain easily?

While bamboo is naturally resistant, highly pigmented foods like beetroot or turmeric can potentially stain if left on the board for an extended period without cleaning. Prompt washing after use is recommended.

What are the dimensions of the three boards?

The set includes three boards with sizes of 25 cm, 36 cm, and 40 cm, offering a range of options for different food preparation tasks.

Troubleshooting

Boards appear dry or dull

Apply a coat of food-grade mineral oil and let it soak in. Repeat if necessary.

Boards have absorbed odors or stains

Try scrubbing gently with a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. For persistent issues, consider a deeper oil treatment.

Boards show minor cracks or splitting

Ensure boards are thoroughly dried after washing and are not exposed to extreme temperature changes. Apply mineral oil generously to affected areas. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.

Knives seem to be dulling quickly

Ensure you are using the boards as intended and not applying excessive force. While bamboo is knife-friendly, regular knife sharpening is still recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These chopping boards require no assembly. Upon receiving the set, it is recommended to wipe them down with a damp cloth. For optimal longevity, consider applying a food-grade mineral oil to the boards before their first use and periodically thereafter.

Compatibility:

These boards are compatible with all types of kitchen knives. They are designed for use with standard food preparation tasks.

Care:

  • Hand Wash Only: Clean the boards with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Dry Thoroughly: After washing, wipe the boards dry immediately with a clean towel and allow them to air dry completely before storing.
  • Oil Regularly: To maintain the bamboo's natural luster and prevent drying or cracking, apply a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil every 4-6 weeks, or whenever the boards appear dry. Wipe off any excess oil.
  • Avoid Soaking: Do not submerge the boards in water or place them in a dishwasher, as this can cause the bamboo to warp, crack, or split.
  • Storage: Store boards upright or flat in a well-ventilated area to allow air circulation.
