No, you must hand wash this board. Dishwashers use heat and excessive moisture that will cause the solid wood to warp or crack.
While the entire surface is wood, the flat central area is designed for cutting. The live edge is primarily for aesthetic character and is less practical for intensive chopping.
Due to its 6cm thickness and solid acacia construction, the board is quite heavy and substantial, designed to stay put during use.
It is best practice to oil the board upon arrival to provide a protective barrier against moisture before your first use.
Warping is usually caused by moisture imbalance. Ensure the board is stored flat and always dried immediately after cleaning.
Apply a generous coat of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner and let it soak in overnight.
Lightly sand the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper, then re-oil the entire surface to restore uniformity.
Ensure the surface is completely dry and the grooves on the underside are free of debris or kitchen grease.
To ensure the longevity of your acacia board, avoid submerging it in water for extended periods, as this can lead to warping or cracking. Before first use, it is recommended to apply a food-grade mineral oil to seal the wood grain. For daily maintenance, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately with a clean towel. Store the board in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like ovens or radiators to prevent the wood from drying out or splitting. Because every board features a unique live edge, ensure you have a designated flat spot on your worktop that accommodates the natural shape of the slab.
