FAQs
Is the slate board food safe?
Yes, the natural slate is food-safe and suitable for direct contact with food.
Can I cut food directly on the board?
While the slate is durable, it is recommended to use a separate cutting board for heavy chopping to preserve the board's surface finish and sharpness of your knives.
How do I clean the serving board?
Clean the board by hand with warm water and mild soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not place it in a dishwasher.
What are the dimensions of the board?
The board is approximately 30cm x 20cm.
Will my board look exactly like the one in the picture?
No, each board is made from natural slate and will have unique variations in texture, color, and edge finish, making your piece one-of-a-kind.
Can I put hot dishes on the board?
It is not recommended to place extremely hot dishes directly on the slate, as sudden temperature changes can potentially cause the stone to crack or warp.
How often should I oil the board?
Oiling is optional but recommended if the board appears dry or faded. Applying food-grade mineral oil once every few months or as needed will help maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Board has white chalky residue.
This can be mineral deposits from water. Try wiping the board with a cloth dampened with white vinegar and water solution (1:1 ratio), then rinse and dry thoroughly. For stubborn deposits, a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive pad may help.
Food stains are difficult to remove.
For fresh stains, wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For set-in stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then gently scrub and rinse. Alternatively, try the vinegar solution mentioned above.
Board appears dry or faded.
Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb for a few hours, then wipe off any excess. This will restore the depth of color and provide some protection.
Board has a slight unevenness.
This is a characteristic of natural slate. Ensure the surface it's placed on is level. Minor unevenness generally does not affect its functionality as a serving platter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The serving board requires no assembly. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure it is placed on a stable, flat surface before loading with food.

Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Clean the board with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
- Dry Thoroughly: After washing, dry the board completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and staining.
- Seasoning (Optional): For enhanced protection and a deeper color, you can periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil to the surface. Allow the oil to soak in for a few hours, then wipe off any excess.
- Avoid Direct Heat: Do not place hot pots or pans directly on the board, as extreme temperature changes can cause damage.
- Chop Carefully: While durable, it is best to avoid heavy chopping directly on the surface to preserve its finish. Use a separate cutting board for food preparation.
