FAQs

Are these chopping boards dishwasher safe?

No, these Simpa bamboo chopping boards are hand wash only. Dishwashers can expose the bamboo to excessive heat and moisture, which can cause warping, cracking, or splitting.

Do I need to oil these boards?

The boards come pre-oiled. However, periodic re-oiling with a food-grade mineral oil is highly recommended every few weeks or months, depending on usage, to maintain their integrity, appearance, and prevent drying out.

What are the dimensions of the two boards?

The set includes one large board measuring 40 x 28 cm and one smaller board measuring 33 x 23 cm.

Can I use these boards for raw meat?

Yes, you can use these boards for raw meat. It is recommended to designate one side of a board specifically for raw meats or use one board for raw meat and the other for produce to prevent cross-contamination. Always wash thoroughly with hot, soapy water immediately after cutting raw meat.

What is the benefit of bamboo over other wood types?

Bamboo is a highly sustainable and eco-friendly resource. It is known for its durability, hardness, and resistance to absorbing liquids compared to some other wood types, which makes it a great choice for kitchen tools.

How do the grooved edges help?

The grooved edges are designed to catch and contain any liquids or juices released from food during chopping, slicing, or carving. This helps keep your countertop cleaner and prevents spills.

Are these boards food safe?

Yes, these boards are crafted from organic bamboo, making them a safe and natural surface for all your food preparation needs.

Troubleshooting

Board is warping or cracking.

Ensure you are hand washing and not soaking the board. Always dry immediately and thoroughly after washing, allowing air circulation on all sides. Avoid extreme temperature changes.

Board looks dry or faded.

Apply a generous amount of food-grade mineral oil to all surfaces of the board. Let it soak in for several hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess. Repeat periodically to maintain the finish.

Persistent stains or odors.

For stains, create a paste with baking soda and a small amount of water, apply to the stain, let sit for 15-20 minutes, then scrub gently and rinse. For odors, rub half a lemon over the board, let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse and dry.

Board slips on the countertop during use.

Place a damp paper towel or a non-slip mat underneath the board to create friction and prevent movement during chopping.

Visible knife marks or scoring.

While normal for all cutting boards, heavy scoring can be minimized by cutting with a lighter hand. For deeper marks, light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper followed by re-oiling can help restore the surface, though this is advanced care.

Your Simpa Bamboo Chopping Boards arrive pre-oiled and ready for immediate use. No initial setup is required. These boards are compatible with all types of kitchen knives and are designed for general food preparation. For optimal care and to ensure the longevity of your boards, hand wash only with warm water and mild soap after each use. Avoid soaking the boards in water, as this can lead to warping or splitting. Rinse thoroughly and immediately dry with a clean cloth. Stand the boards upright or allow them to air dry completely on all sides to prevent moisture accumulation. Periodic re-oiling with a food-grade mineral oil is recommended every few weeks or as needed to maintain their natural luster and protect the bamboo from drying out. This simple care routine will keep your Simpa chopping boards in excellent condition for years.
