Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
No complex setup is required. The chopping board is ready for use upon arrival. Ensure it is clean before its first use.
Compatibility:
This board is compatible with all types of kitchen knives. However, to prolong the life of both your knives and the board, it is recommended to use well-maintained knives.
Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Never place the chopping board in a dishwasher. The extreme heat and harsh detergents can cause the bamboo to warp, crack, or split.
- Clean Promptly: Wash the board with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Use a soft brush or sponge to remove food residue.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a clean towel. Allow the board to air dry completely in an upright position to ensure air circulation on all sides.
- Oil Regularly: To prevent the bamboo from drying out and cracking, condition the board with food-grade mineral oil or a specialized wood conditioner. Apply a generous amount of oil, let it soak in for a few hours (or overnight), then wipe off any excess. Repeat this process monthly, or whenever the board appears dry.
- Avoid Soaking: Do not submerge the board in water for extended periods, as this can lead to damage.
