Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The chopping boards come pre-oiled and ready for use straight out of the packaging. Simply rinse them under warm water and dry thoroughly before their first use.
Compatibility: These boards are compatible with all types of kitchen knives. However, to preserve the life of your knives and the boards, it is recommended to use different boards for raw meats and vegetables if possible.
Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Wash the boards with warm, soapy water. Never place them in a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can cause the bamboo to warp, crack, or dry out.
- Dry Thoroughly: After washing, immediately dry the boards completely with a clean towel. Do not let them air dry standing on their edges for extended periods, as this can lead to uneven moisture absorption.
- Oiling: To maintain the boards' condition and prevent drying, re-oil them regularly (e.g., monthly or when they appear dry) with a food-grade mineral oil or a specialised board cream. Apply the oil generously, let it soak in for a few hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess.
- Avoid Soaking: Do not submerge the boards in water for extended periods.
- Storage: Store the boards flat or hang them by their integrated holes to ensure air circulation.
