Premier Housewares Chopping and Serving Board - Black

Yes, acacia wood is naturally dense and contains compounds that provide a degree of antibacterial resistance, making it a hygienic choice for food preparation compared to softer woods or some plastics.

While acacia wood can withstand moderate heat, it is not recommended to place very hot pans or dishes directly on the board as it can scorch or cause damage over time. It is primarily designed for cutting and serving at room temperature.

It is recommended to oil the board once a month, or whenever it appears dry or after deep cleaning. More frequent oiling may be necessary in dry climates or with heavy use.

The black handle is made of a material that is designed to remain cool to the touch under normal kitchen conditions. It is not intended for use near open flames or extreme heat sources.

This board is not designed to function as a trivet. Direct contact with hot pots or pans can damage the wood and potentially cause a fire hazard. Use a dedicated trivet for hot cookware.

The board is finished with food-grade mineral oil to protect and enhance the natural wood. No synthetic sealants are applied, preserving its natural properties.

Apply a generous coat of food-grade mineral oil and let it soak in. Repeat if necessary. Ensure the board is stored in a dry environment away from extreme heat or cold.

Try scrubbing the affected area with a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. For stubborn stains, consider a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper, followed by re-oiling.

Ensure all excess mineral oil was buffed off after application. Wash gently with warm water and mild soap, and dry completely.

Minor to moderate knife marks are normal for a wooden cutting board and contribute to its character. For significant gouges, a light sanding followed by re-oiling can help. Regular oiling also helps to minimize the appearance of marks.
