Barbary & Oak Hoxton Square Chopping Board - Brown

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the chopping board from its packaging.
2. Initial Clean: Before first use, hand wash the board thoroughly with warm, soapy water, rinse well, and dry immediately. This ensures hygiene and removes any residual manufacturing dust.

Compatibility

• Kitchen Worktops: Fits comfortably on most standard kitchen countertops, providing a stable cutting surface.
• Knives: Compatible with all types of kitchen knives, including stainless steel, ceramic, and carbon steel. The wood surface helps maintain blade sharpness.
• Food Types: Suitable for direct contact with all food types including raw meat, fish, poultry, fruits, and vegetables.

Care Instructions

• Hand Wash Only: This is crucial. Never place the chopping board in a dishwasher, as high heat and prolonged exposure to water can cause the ash wood to warp, crack, or split.
• Mild Soap and Water: After each use, wash the board with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a sponge or brush to remove food residues.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap is rinsed off the board.
• Dry Immediately: Do not let the board air dry completely on its own without intervention. Wipe it dry immediately with a clean cloth. Allow it to fully air dry standing on its side to ensure even drying and prevent warping.
• Avoid Soaking: Do not soak the board in water for extended periods, as this can lead to water absorption, swelling, and cracking.
• Storage: Store the board in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from extreme heat sources (like ovens or direct sunlight) or excessive humidity.
