Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Rockingham Forge board lasts for years, proper care is essential. Upon receiving the board, it is recommended to apply a food-safe mineral oil or board cream to nourish the wood fibers.
- Cleaning: Hand-wash the board using warm water and a mild dish soap. Wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth immediately after washing.
- Drying: Never submerge the board in water or leave it sitting in a sink, as this will lead to warping or cracking. Store it on its side to allow for even air circulation.
- Maintenance: Re-oil the board every 4-8 weeks, depending on usage. If the wood begins to look dull or feels 'thirsty', it is time for a fresh coat of oil.
- Compatibility: Compatible with all standard steel kitchen knives, including santoku, chef's knives, and paring knives.
