FAQs

Are these chopping boards dishwasher safe?

No, these chopping boards are not dishwasher safe. They should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly.

How often should I oil the bamboo boards?

It is recommended to oil the boards monthly or whenever they appear dry to maintain their condition and prevent cracking. Frequent use may require more frequent oiling.

What type of oil should I use for maintenance?

Use a food-grade mineral oil or a specialised cutting board oil or cream. Avoid using cooking oils like olive or vegetable oil, as they can become rancid.

Can I use these boards for raw meat?

Yes, you can use these boards for raw meat. However, for hygiene, it is best practice to wash and dry them thoroughly immediately after use, and consider using a separate board for produce if possible.

What makes the bamboo 'carbonised'?

Carbonisation is a heat-treatment process (at 260°C / 500°F) that alters the bamboo's structure, making it denser, stronger, and more resistant to moisture and stains.

How do the juice grooves work?

The deep grooves are designed to catch and contain excess liquids released from ingredients like fruits and meats, preventing them from spilling onto your countertops.

What are the dimensions of each board in the set?

The set includes a Large board (42 x 28 cm), a Medium board (30.5 x 20 cm), and a Small board (23 x 15 cm).

Troubleshooting

Board appears dry or rough

Re-oil the board with food-grade mineral oil. Ensure it is dried thoroughly after washing and oiled regularly.

Light knife marks visible

This is normal wear. For significant marks, you can lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and then re-oil the board.

Board has absorbed strong odors

Try wiping the board with a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Regular oiling can also help reduce odor absorption.

Board has light stains

Clean immediately after use. For stubborn stains, try a paste of baking soda and water or a slice of lemon, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Re-oil if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent durability and resistance to wear due to carbonisation.
  • Multiple sizes cater to a wide range of culinary needs.
  • The juice grooves are effective in containing mess during prep.
  • Made from sustainable and eco-friendly bamboo.
  • Aesthetically pleasing dark wood finish enhances kitchen decor.

Cons

  • Bamboo requires specific care to prevent drying or cracking.
  • Can be heavier than plastic or lighter wood alternatives.
  • May dull knives over time if not properly maintained.
  • Dark colour may show lighter stains if not cleaned promptly.
  • Not dishwasher safe, requiring hand washing.

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.
